Dahlia Citron Du Cap

Featuring large, stunning 7-inch blooms in a delicate yellow with a dusting of rose blush on the petal tips, this variety is both wide and deep. The heavily laciniated petals give the flowers an exceptionally lacy appearance, making them striking in both garden settings and floral arrangements. The 4-foot plant produces ample stems for cutting and has long-lasting flowers, but it is particularly well-suited for exhibitions and is sure to win many ribbons.

This variety is also very striking in the field, producing numerous lateral branches and a wealth of blooms. Given the density of petals in the flower heads, we recommend providing support to keep it standing tall and looking its best.

Blooms: 15 – 20cm
Height: 120 – 150cm

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.
