This is one of the larger bloomers in our dinnerplate types, producing 12" flowers, and if disbudded can reach 14 across! Heavy bloomer for a dinnerplate variety, this orange flower shows yellow deep in the petals toward the center of the blooms and has real show potential. A very tall 5' plant, will need staking as most dinnerplate varieties do.

Dahlias are grown from tubers (similar to a bulb, but thin-skinned like a potato). Plant tubers in the springtime, about the same time as you would your vegetable gardens or when the ground is warm enough to work up and play in daily. Plant them in a full sun location (giving them 6-8 hours of direct sunlight) and enjoy blooms all summer long. They will bloom and provide you with color and abundant flowers for cutting and enjoying throughout the summer.
The more you cut a dahlia plant, the more it will bloom. Most cut dahlias will last up to 5 days once cut and treated.

My Gladiator bloomed just like the photo, then like a giant Collarette, then in reverse color scheme, then predominate yellow. It was incredible the amount of blooms and the different styles this one tuber created.
