Dahlia 'Spartacus'

Spartacus Dahlia

Dahlia 'Spartacus' produces large, deep burgundy-red informal‑decorative blooms with petals that fold back slightly, giving each flower a rich, velvety texture like polished satin. The flowerheads begin opening in midsummer and continue reliably through early autumn, offering a long season of lush color. Each bloom sits on a sturdy, upright stem, making it excellent for cutting or showcasing in garden beds. The saturated red tone remains consistent as the flowers mature, and the strong flowering habit ensures that 'Spartacus' delivers steady presence and depth throughout the growing season.
