"This is a gorgeous plant, intense color, it is already 4 ft high and is full of blooms and buds! Absolutely perfect!"
"These bulbs grew to nearly 7ft tall and produced gorgeous blooms! They were the first of my dahlias to bloom and definitely the largest plants in my borders."
"It's a great deep color"
"These plants have produced tons of deep red blooms. I was hoping they would be closer to black but are actually more of a maroon. However, in certain light they are quite dark. The stalk of the plants have proven to be very sturdy and have not drooped at all."
Dahlias don’t have to be the size of dinner plates to be stunning additions to your border! Rip City Dahlia is more of a “salad-plate” cultivar, with mid-summer blooms measuring 4-6 inches across on strong, on 3 ft. stems. Blooms are deep wine-red and appear almost black in the center–making them a great contrast for hotter colors in the border like yellows and golds. Plant Rip City Dahlia in full sun with some shelter from high wind. Dahlias prefer moisture-retentive soil that drains well, or the tubers will rot. Consider planting versatile Rip City Dahlia with blousy annuals such as tall verbena or with the feathery foliage of an ornamental grass like Maiden Grass (Miscanthus). Rip City Dahlia makes a great cut flower and lasts a long time in the vase. Light pinching of the growing shoots will make a bushier plant. Deadheading the fading blooms will increase blooming later into the season.
