Spartacus Dahlia

Spartacus Dahlia

10" beach ball-shaped flowers.

This red is sure to win blue ribbons at the fair! Dahlia connoisseurs adore Spartacus for its colour, vigour and exhibition-size blooms. From midsummer to fall's first frost, it produces a nonstop supply of enormous, velvety-looking, orb-shaped flowers measuring up to a whopping 10" across. The crimson, fully double blooms are slightly darker in the centre, with petals that flex back toward the stem. Outstanding for use at the rear of a sunny border or in fresh-cut floral arrangements.

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.
