Dahlia ‘Nicholas’

Description
Dahlia 'Nicholas' is a beautiful variety known for its unique and colorful blooms. Each flower features a 6 inch blossom in a peach color, adorned with streaks of lavender and yellow on the petals. Near the center of the blossom, the petals exhibit a rich burgundy hue, adding depth and contrast to the overall appearance. 'Nicholas' 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. ‘Nicholas' typically grows to a height of 4 feet, making it ideal 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.
