Dahlia 'Rip City' | Rip City Dahlia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Rip City’ features deep cranberry‑to‑burgundy blooms with nearly black centers, held in the informal decorative form—defined by petals that spread in a relaxed, overlapping fashion rather than tightly concentric layers. Its dark, rich petals sit atop strong stems emerging from deep‑green, lush foliage, allowing the flowers to glow with dramatic intensity. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues steadily until the first autumn frosts, offering abundant color across the season. The combination of the ultra‑dark centers and the layered open structure gives each flower head a moody elegance that suits both garden beds and bold cut‑flower 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.
