40" tall x 24" wide. 'Romantique' is THE dahlia for gardeners who gravitate toward romantic, muted colors. A great choice for container gardeners, this dahlia produces full-petaled flowers that are 4 to 6 inches wide. Stake the plants early in the season, or pinch out the growing point of each stem to keep the plants short and promote branching. Dozens of blooms are produced from each tuber, as long as the plant is regularly deadheaded. 'Romantique' performs best in full sun and average garden soil that's well drained. In the garden and in the vase, the flowers are both long lasting and stunning. Lift and store the tubers where winters are cold.
