(36-48’’ tall x 24” wide) Go big with Belle of Barmera Dahlia! Large, double flowers are 8-10 inches wide, and the pink petals betray just the slightest hint of peachy-salmon when the light catches them. Grow these summer bloomers in a cut flower garden, an effusive summer border, or in a bed devoted to the wonders of Dahlias. At 4 ft. tall with strong stems, Belle of Barmera Dinnerplate Dahlia will be a great mid-size addition to your collection! Dahlias prefer a sunny location in rich, moisture retentive soil that drains well. If you’ve got crunching critters like voles, surround the tubers at planting time with sharp grit, or plant in plastic pots and bury in the soil with the top two inches of pot exposed. As the garden grows up, the pots edges will disappear. Pots are then easily lifted in the fall for overwintering indoors if you grow in zones cooler than 8.
