Dahlia - Lake Ontario - Fiery two-tone show, queen of summer borders - Tuber - 1 pc

A warm blend of orange and red, lifted by a yellowish centre, makes Dahlia 'Lake Ontario' instantly eye-catching. Its broad petals overlap neatly, while the deeper red tips give the blooms plenty of definition. This variety branches freely and densely, while also growing quite tall. As a result, especially when planted in a slightly larger group, it creates a bold, energetic splash of colour in the border that brightens the garden for much of the season.

Overwintering

Use

Dahlia 'Lake Ontario' works well in the middle of a border and in larger single-species plantings. It is also suitable for cutting - the flowers stay fresh in a vase for a long time.
