DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Spartacus’ produces large, deep burgundy-red informal‑decorative blooms with petals that fold back slightly, giving each flower a rich, velvety texture like polished satin. The flowerheads begin opening in midsummer and continue reliably through early autumn, offering a long season of lush color. Each bloom sits on a sturdy, upright stem, making it excellent for cutting or showcasing in garden beds. The saturated red tone remains consistent as the flowers mature, and the strong flowering habit ensures that ‘Spartacus’ delivers steady presence and depth throughout 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.
