Speech Dahlia - Anemone Flower - #1 Size Root Clump

Originating from Mexico and Guatemala, Dahlias were the flowers of Inca kings and despite their royal origins Dahlias are among the easiest plants to grow in the garden. They are a wonderful source of cut flowers and will provide a veritable cornucopia of colorful blooms for your bouquets from mid summer until the first hard frost in the late fall. Dahlias are hardy in zones 8 -10. Dahlias are susceptible to cold so be careful not to plant them too early and be sure to dig them up and store them in a frost-free place before old Jack Frost comes calling if you are planting them in a cooler zone! Your new Dahlias tubers can be stored in the refrigerator until planting time or get a head start on spring and start them indoors in a sunny window. Dahlia 'Speech' is an anemone-flowered variety with vibrant red petals and a rich, full center. The larger outer petals are adorned with slender white tips, creating a striking contrast. With 11 cm blooms and a flowering height of 3 feet/100 cm, this lively dahlia is perfect for borders and beds, promising to bring warmth and admiration to your garden
