$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Awaikoe’ features collarette blooms with dark red outer petals, a delicate white petal collar, and a golden-yellow center that attracts pollinators. Its open, daisy-like form adds lightness to borders and bouquets, and flowers appear steadily from midsummer through fall. First introduced before 1969, ‘Awaikoe’ is a long-preserved variety whose precise origin and breeder remain undocumented, though it continues to be shared through dahlia societies and home garden collections.

    Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.

    Throughout the growing season, provide regular watering, support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
