Description

Large, radiant flowers stretch 7–8" across!

Immense size and prolific blooming make this the finest of all purple dahlias. Its vibrant colouration adds tremendous pop to borders and dazzles when planted in large groups. The densely packed, perfectly symmetrical petals unfurl in a mesmerizing spiral pattern. Each magnificent bloom sits atop a sturdy, dark green stem that rarely needs staking, even under the weight of these massive flowers. A vigorous grower, each clump produces multiple stems laden with blooms.

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.

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.
