A striking shade of red, but when combined with the Semi-cactus flower form and dark stems and leaves, this member of the Karma series is not one to pass up. Can you tell we're keen on Semi-cactus Dahlias?

These hybrids of species native from Mexico to Colombia hold their display in reserve for mid- to late summer and early fall, when most gardens and most vases are looking a little tired. Planted in 3s and 6s, they serve to fill holes that develop in the perennial border and make excellent potted plants (1 tuber in a 12in pot). Dahlias prefer full sun, though partial shade is acceptable. They like rich soil and even moisture. Dahlias are perennial in Zones 8–10. Where they are not hardy, Dahlias are easily overwintered indoors (details will accompany your order).
