Seattle Dinner Plate Dahlia

This dinner plate dahlia is prized for its bright, but elegant multi-color flowers that look just as stunning in a vase as they do in the garden. Cut the blooms when they're only half open for a vase life of up to ten days! With regular deadheading, 'Seattle' is in constant bloom from mid summer until the arrival of fall's frost.

Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, but in cooler zones, tubers can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring. Grow Dahlias in a sunny spot, in average soil that drains well. Keep moisture consistent once it begins to grow and enjoy a non-stop color parade. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and pinch off small side buds to encourage larger flowers if desired.
