Dahlia 'Sharky' | Sharky Dahlia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Sharky’ produces deep grape‑purple blooms in the ball form, defined by petals that are tightly arranged in a smooth, globe‑shaped structure. As the blooms mature, their rich purple petals develop crisp white tips, creating a gradual bi‑color effect that adds dimension and movement. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues through to the first frost, offering a long season of dependable color and form. The rounded shape and evolving coloration make ‘Sharky’ well suited for cutting gardens and seasonal borders, where its saturated tones and dense texture provide visual impact.

    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.
