Banana dahlia

DAHLIA, ZONES 3 TO 10

This 4-foot-tall dahlia has exquisite quill-shaped petals in a beautiful pinktinged cream hue.

The large blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds and grow even bigger if excess buds are removed. If you live in Zones 3 to 8, dig up the tuberous roots in fall and overwinter.

It Why we love it:

is easy to grow, blooms from summer to frost and has lightly fragrant flowers that work well in arrangements.
