Dahlias

Dahlia 'David Howard'

David Howard Dahlia

Dahlia 'David Howard' blooms in warm pumpkin-orange tones with dark purple-tinged foliage that enhances each blossom's glow. It is a formal decorative form-characterized by tightly-arranged petals laid in concentric layers to form a smooth, rounded globe. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues through to the first fall frosts, providing a prolonged season of color and form. The polished flower heads seem to float above the foliage, each one radiating golden-amber warmth.
