Dahlia 'Lovely Rita'
Lovely Rita Dahlia
Dahlia 'Lovely Rita' features cheerful golden‑yellow blooms in the waterlily form, with broad petals that gently unfurl into a soft, rounded silhouette. Each flower opens through midsummer and continues reliably into early autumn, offering an extended stretch of color for the garden or vase. The warm yellow tones deliver a bright presence throughout the season, and the tidy, layered heads are well suited for mixed borders or cutting beds alike.
