Tropical Sunset Dahlia Description
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.

Dahlia Tips & Growing Instructions
In areas with winter freeze, carefully dig the tubers in fall after the frost kills the foliage. Cut the stalk approximately 6" above the tuber. Dahlias should be dried for only a couple of hours before storing in plastic-lined shallow boxes with a blanket of vermiculite or peat moss. Hardy in Zones 8-10.
