Dahlia ‘Drama Queen’

Description
Dahlia 'Drama Queen' is a striking dahlia variety that lives up to its name with its bold and vibrant blooms. Each flower features a large, 4 1/2 inch fully double blossom in a rich raspberry color, accented with streaks of red and white, creating a dramatic and eye-catching display. 'Drama Queen' blooms from midsummer to fall, adding a touch of drama and flair to the garden. This dahlia belongs to the informal decorative group, known for its double blooms that are not fully formal in shape. These dahlias have overlapping petals that can be slightly twisted or irregular, giving them a relaxed, informal appearance. This dahlia grows to a height of 4 feet and is perfect for borders, beds, or as a focal point in the garden.

Care
Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.

Throughout the growing season, provide support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
