Dahlia Garden Show

Dahlia 'Garden Show' is particularly gorgeous with its ring of flat, pale pink petals, complimented with streaks of raspberry that fade towards the tips. They surround eye-catching masses of tiny elongated creamy-yellow florets that form a lovely central pincushion. A prolific bloomer, its delicate flowers, 3-4 in. wide (7-10 cm), stand up nice and straight even when it rains. 'Garden Show' is an elegant Anemone-flowered Dahlia that is always a real standout wherever it is grown.

• Blooming massively from July until Frost, this dahlia grows up to 36 in. (90 cm) and is an excellent choice to create a lovely garden display or for show.
• A great pick for borders or as cut flowers thanks to its superb vase life. Did you know that the more you cut Dahlia flowers, the more flowers you get? This makes Dahlias twice as nice: pretty in a vase, pretty in the garden. A great big flower in a vase or floating in a shallow bowl makes the perfect eye-catcher.
• Best flowering occurs in full sun, but light shade will be welcomed in hot summer areas.
• Provide consistent moisture during the growing season and do not allow soils to dry out. Plant in a sheltered location to protect your dahlias from strong winds.
• Best in groups of 5 for best visual effect. Deadhead spent flowers to promote the growth of additional flower buds.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
• If you live in a cool area (hardiness zones 3-7) and you want to save your dahlia bulbs, or more precisely, your dahlia tubers for next spring, you may dig them up before the first frost and store them over winter before replanting them next spring. Store them in boxes, covered with moistened sand in a cool, dark, frost-free place where the temperature remains between 45-50 °F (7-10°C).
• This Dahlia is a member of the Anemone-flowered Dahlias, which present small to medium flowers (approx. 3-4" / 7-10 cm) with one or more rows of flat (not revoluted) florets arranged in a wreath and central disc's dense tubular florets looking like elongated pincushions. These unique-looking dahlias are real eye-catchers and deserve a special spot in your garden or mixed container.
