Gallery Art Deco Dahlia
Dahlia ‘Gallery Art Deco’ · a bedding dahlia with orange flowers
A compact border dahlia, low and self-supporting, covered in coral and apricot double flowers from midsummer to frost, so it suits the front of a bed or a pot. Give it full sun and well-drained soil, and dig the tubers after frost where winters freeze.
