DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Lovely Rita’ features cheerful golden‑yellow blooms in the waterlily form, with broad petals that gently unfurl into a soft, rounded silhouette. Each flower opens through midsummer and continues reliably into early autumn, offering an extended stretch of color for the garden or vase. The warm yellow tones deliver a bright presence throughout the season, and the tidy, layered heads are well suited for mixed borders or cutting beds alike. With steady bloom production and long‑lasting stems, ‘Lovely Rita’ provides both enduring color and form well into the later months of 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.
