Dahlia Dinnerplate 'Akita'

These striking 8-10” blossoms are a warm shade of red-orange with burgundy-pink highlights and tipped in bronze and yellow. This stunning perennial is vigorous and fast growing.  It is heat resistant and makes a superb cut flower. Your dahlias will bloom the first year, adding a lovely spot of colour from mid-summer until frost. They are a welcome addition to the garden late in the season when other flowers are fading.
