The "Seattle" dahlia is an ornamental dahlia variety that shows an unusual colour combination. It is enchanting, proud and full of almost regal beauty. It will dazzle with its bright yellow flowers, whose petals are covered with sparks of white, when planted in larger groupings. This plant will inspire you to create new, unusual compositions and to change your garden. The "Seattle" dahlia with its dark green leaves and light flowers put a spell on your garden together with the rudbeckia, aster, red hot poker lily and goldenrod until the first autumn frost. We recommend to admire the beauty of the "Seattle" dahlia on perennial borders, next to gazebos and relaxation corners. You can also create subtler arrangements by combining dahlias with ornamental grasses, such as silvergrass or reed grass. Cut dahlias will allow you to compose spectacular bouquets that will adorn the interiors. The flowers of the "Seattle" dahlia retain a fresh look in all kinds of arrangements for a long time.

Dahlias should be planted on sunny sites that should also be sheltered from the wind because of the plants' fragile stems. You may also tie dahlias to stakes or use other kinds of supports. Set the plants 20 to 50 cm apart. Put the tuberous roots circa 5 cm deep into the soil between April and June.  Dahlias thrive in sandy-loam, fertile and permeable soil. They require watering during periods of drought. Do not forget to remove wilted flowers.  Dahlias react well to fertilization with manure, compost and mineral fertilizers.

Dahlia tubers cannot winter in the ground and need to be excavated after the first frost in autumn. Cut the stems first and then gently dig out the roots. Place them in open boxes that should be kept in a dry room with a stable temperature within the 2 to 4°C range. You can cover the rootstocks with peat to ensure better storage conditions. If you notice a significant drop in firmness and wrinkles on the surface of the roots, you may wet them sparsely with water.
