Lavender Pink Dahlia
Glowing lavender pink double flowers 'pop' against the dark maroon foliage starting in late summer and continuing into fall. This cultivar is smaller statured, reducing the need to stake the plants to keep them upright when they come into flower. Plant dahlias in the garden in June, after the risk of late spring freezes has passed, and in sunny, well-drained locations in moderately rich, moisture-retentive soils. Insect pollinators and hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers.
