Description
An artistic ombre of pink and lavender make the huge, 10-inch flowers of 'Sir Alf Ramsey' Dinnerplate Dahlia a sight to behold. The plant grows to an impressive 48 inches high, standing tall and commanding attention, so be sure to stake the stems to support the impressive, dinnerplate-sized blooms. Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, but in cooler zones, tubers can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring. Grow Dahlias in a sunny spot, in average soil that drains well. Keep moisture consistent once it begins to grow and enjoy a non-stop color parade. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and pinch off small side buds to encourage larger flowers if desired.
