Description

Unique, tricolour palette rarely seen in dahlias.

Bearing a trio of soft warm hues, these big bloomers offer growers in even the northernmost states the look of tropical flowers. The fully double, 6-6½" blooms have yellow centres and pinkish-red petal tips that fade over time to creamy pink. Use Tropical Sunset to convey a balmy evening in an island paradise by planting it in back of a border, where the tall, 40" plants can provide a colourful background for smaller summertime flowers. A seldom-offered cultivar.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
