Dahlias
Dahlia 'Poppers'
Poppers Dahlia
Dahlia 'Poppers' bursts with vibrant, bright yellow blossoms accented by red streaking, though some flowers may appear in a solid shade of either color. It belongs to the semi-cactus group of dahlias, known for their spiky, partially rolled petals that create a star-like effect. The 5-inch blossoms sit atop 4-foot plants with frilly foliage, adding texture and lively color to garden borders or floral arrangements. 'Poppers' offers both eye-catching color and dynamic form, making it a versatile choice for any garden setting.

Planting & care
Growing beautiful dahlias starts with thoughtful planting and care. A sunny location, well-draining soil, and consistent attention throughout the growing season help plants develop abundant flowers. Regular watering and feeding encourage healthy growth, while mulch helps conserve moisture. Removing spent flowers keeps plants blooming freely from summer into fall.
