Rip City Dahlia is a smaller-flowered (4-6”) dahlia cultivar that abundantly produces dramatic wine-red blossoms in mid-summer. Flowers are almost black in the center and top deep green foliage on 3 ft. stems. An excellent cut flower and extremely versatile in a border due to its size. Full sun. Moisture retentive soil. (Dahlia)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(36-48” tall x 24” wide) 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.
