40" tall x 24" wide. This dinner plate dahlia is prized for its bright but elegant multi-color flowers that look just as stunning in a vase as they do in the garden. Cut the blooms when they're only half open for a vase life of up to ten days! With regular deadheading, 'Seattle' is in constant bloom from mid summer until the arrival of fall's frost, when the tubers can be dug and stored in a box of peat moss in a cool location indoors until spring's arrival. For maximum bloom production, plant 'Seattle' in full sun conditions where the soil is well drained. Topping out at a height of almost 4 feet, this dahlia must be staked, caged, or otherwise supported to really show off its pristine blooms to neighbors and friends. Lush, green, deer-resistant foliage combined with sunny yellow blooms – what more could a dahlia lover ask for?
