Plant Features

Starsister® Scarlet Yellow Dahlia is a dwarf-sized plant that offers gorgeous blooms with a bright scarlet layer topped with a fluffy yellow petal! A winning combination in landscapes or containers. Deadheading will enhance the continuous blooms. 

Dahlia Plant Care: Wait until green sprouts emerge from the soil before watering. Then water deeply 2-3 times per week. Daily if in containers. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks for containers and every 3-4 weeks for soil grown. Use fertilizers that have a lower nitrogen count, generally half the amount of the other two on the NPK ratio. After frost has turned foliage brown, dig up the tubers and store them for the winter.

Pleasant Surprise

I have looked for this plant for some time. I was pleased to find it here at a reasonable price. I was stunned when I opened the packed and found two beautiful, healthy plants. I had never bought from this seller, but based on this experience they will be on the top of my list when I order plants in the future.
