Enjoy a true 'dinnerplate' dahlia this summer.
A true "dinnerplate" dahlia. The big, fully double blooms stretch up to 10 inches wide, making a jaw-dropping display for the garden, vase, or even for a flower show. Proud 34-inch stems hoist the hefty blooms up high, making the display all the more magnificent. In windy spots the stems might need staking to keep their massive blooms upright.
Like starbursts, the blooms on Dahlia Manhattan Island feature yellow centers that fade out to red edges. The tremendous color pattern and size make this a fantastic cut flower. Like most dahlias, Manhattan Island grows happily in containers, and is perennial in very warm zones or if you overwinter it indoors. Such an impressive specimen.
