Dahlia ‘Mango Madness’
Description
Dahlia 'Mango Madness' is a vibrant and tropical dahlia variety that brings a burst of color to the garden. Each 11 inch flower features large, fully double blooms in shades of rich mango orange, with hints of dark Burgundy at the center. The petals have a delicate ruffling, adding to the charm of this variety. ‘Mango Madness’ belongs to the informal decorative group, characterized by 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. 'Mango Madness' blooms from midsummer to fall, attracting pollinators with its abundant and colorful flowers. This dahlia grows to a height of 3-4 feet and is perfect for borders, containers, or cutting gardens.
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.
