$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Lakeview Gertie’ produces mid- to dark magenta pink blooms with lime green highlights near the center, presented in the laciniated form—characterized by finely cut, frilly petal edges that create a textured, dynamic flower head. The irregular tips and layered petals add movement and dimension, while the contrasting green center brings freshness and depth to each blossom. Flowers appear from midsummer and continue into the first frosts of autumn, making it dependable for late-season color. Its generous bloom production and textured structure lend to both garden beds and cut 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.
