Description
Red Hat starts out with pointy petals, then the petals open up and curve backwards to create more of a ball shape. Super bloomer and tuber producer. We wished all dahlias produced flowers and tubers as well as Red Hat. It’s a worker !
Growers Notes:
- Dahlias are planted in spring after the soil has warmed up to 60 degrees
- Plant when night time temperatures are consistently in the 50’s
- Plant around the same time you would plant corn, potatoes and other warm season crops
- Plant dahlia tubers in an area that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight per day
- No extra water until sprout is 5”-6” tall, normal spring rains will give all the moisture it needs
- After the dahlia sprout is 6”, deep soak every 2-3 days
