Dahlia 'Skywalker' | Skywalker Dahlia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Skywalker’ blooms in a bold red hue and belongs to the informal decorative form, defined by petals that spread freely and overlap irregularly to create open, textured blossoms. Each flower features a darker center—nearly black—that deepens the overall tone and adds visual contrast. The red petals retain their richness as they age, and the sturdy stems support a long season of bloom. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues until the first frost, offering a reliable source of late-season color. Its saturated tones and relaxed form make ‘Skywalker’ well suited for garden beds and fresh 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.
