Dahlia ‘David Howard’ blooms in warm pumpkin-orange tones with dark purple-tinged foliage that enhances each blossom’s glow.

The polished flower heads seem to float above the foliage, each one radiating golden-amber warmth. With its rich petal tone and structured flower form, ‘David Howard’ brings consistent elegance to garden beds and cut‑flower arrangements throughout the growing season.

    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.
