$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Red Susan’ produces single red blooms set against dark foliage, the single form defined by a single ring of flat petals that frame a prominent central disc. It flowers prolifically from midsummer through fall, delivering steady color after peak season. The clean, bold red of its petals stands out clearly, and the plant’s habit is described as very floriferous with vibrant blooms on dark stems. Its combination of open structure, bold color, and abundant production makes it especially useful for garden edges and casual bouquets where a clear red accent is desired.

    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.
