Dahlia 'Tartan' | Tartan Dahlia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Tartan’ produces large two‑toned blooms in deep burgundy with irregular splashes or banding of snowy white, presenting an informal decorative form where petals overlap loosely and spread from a central point to create an open, textured head. The intense color contrast of the petals is matched by strong, upright stems that support multiple blossoms. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues through to the first autumn frosts, providing a long season of bold presence. The complex petal patterning gives the growing display movement and depth, making ‘Tartan’ an excellent choice for dramatic garden beds and fresh 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.
