DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Lady Darlene’ produces large dinner-plate-sized blooms in the formal decorative form, with fully double petals layered in a smooth, rounded shape. Each blossom opens golden yellow, gradually deepening into rich scarlet red toward the tips, with soft washes and feathered streaks of red diffused across many petals. This painterly coloration gives the flowers a sense of motion and depth, with each bloom offering unique tonal variation. Blooming from midsummer through the first frost, ‘Lady Darlene’ maintains a long season of bold color and well-formed structure, making it a standout in summer borders or fresh floral arrangements.

    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.
