Dahlia ‘Lights Out’

Description
Dahlia 'Lights Out' is a striking variety known for its deep, dark foliage that creates a dramatic backdrop for its vibrant blossoms. The 3 1/2 inch flowers are a brilliant, dark red, adding a bold contrast to the dark foliage. ‘Lights Out’ belongs to the formal decorative group, distinguished by its fully double blooms that are symmetrical and uniform in shape. These dahlias have densely packed petals that can be flat or slightly incurved, creating a perfect, formal flower form. 'Lights Out' typically grows to about 3-4 feet in height and requires full sun to thrive.

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.
