Description
Organic Sunshine Dahlia
3″ blooms | 30-40″ semi-dwarf | Dahlia pinnata
We love the contrast of Sunshine’s glowing golden blossoms rising above her rich burgundy-black foliage. Butterflies love her, too! One of our earliest dahlias, we enjoy her glow from mid-July all the way to frost.
If you love pollinators as well as dahlias, collarette-style blooms like Sunshine have abundant nectar in addition to her glorious petals to feed your pollinators as well as your soul!
