Dahlia ‘Daisy Duke’

Product Details

Every garden has room for Dahlia ‘Daisy Duke,’ a floriferous favorite of floral designers thanks to its richly colored blossoms. The Decorative-form flowers have peachy coral-pink petals with darker raspberry-purple centers, and they arrive in multitudes on a sturdy plant. We encourage pinching of all Dahlias as they grow because this promotes branching and an increased flower count. (See Growing Guide for details.) With ‘Daisy Duke,’ it will also help create longer stems for cutting.

Dahlias are native to Mexico and South America, and hold their display in reserve for mid- to late summer and early fall. The genus offers incredible diversity of color and form and we offer dozens of varieties every year. Dahlias are perennial but not cold hardy – tubers can overwinter in the ground in Zone 8 or warmer; in colder climates tubers can be dug after frost and easily stored indoors over winter. Please note – Dahlias should be planted outside once the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature has reached approximately 60°. We ship tubers beginning in late March and they can be stored until planting time if necessary. For more information on growing Dahlias, click on the Growing Guide tab on this page.
