Dahlia Bilbao

Dahlia ‘Bilbao’ is a showstopping Dinner Plate dahlia, celebrated for its enormous, fully-double lemon-yellow blooms that light up the garden from midsummer until the first frosts. Each flower, measuring around 15 cm across, features slightly incurved, pointed petals that give it a soft, slightly shaggy texture—perfect for creating bold, cheerful displays.

With strong, upright stems, ‘Bilbao’ is ideal for garden borders or patio containers and makes a standout addition to cut flower arrangements. A Dutch summer favorite, it’s easy to grow in moist, fertile soil with plenty of sun, rewarding gardeners with nonstop blooms and striking color all season long.

Blooms: 15 – 20cm
Height: 90 – 120cm

Dahlias should be planted after the risk of frost has passed and will continue to bloom from early summer until mid-autumn. For optimal growth and flowering, choose a sunny spot to plant the tubers, as Dahlias thrive in full sun.
