Dahlia Seniors Hope

Dahlia 'Senior's Hope' is an amazing decorative dahlia variety that brings a touch of elegance to any garden. Its blooms feature a harmonious blend of dusky pink and muted purple hues, creating an almost vintage appearance. The petals are dark burgundy on the underside and at the center, adding depth and contrast to the flower's overall look. Each bloom measures approximately 4-5 inches in diameter, making it a striking addition to garden borders and floral arrangements. The plant reaches a height of about 3 feet, making it suitable for the middle or back of borders. Dahlia 'Senior's Hope' blooms profusely from mid-summer until the first frost, providing a continuous display of color. For optimal growth, plant 'Senior's Hope' in full sun and in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant the tubers in spring after the danger of frost has passed, about 4 to 6 inches deep and spaced 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the season. In colder regions, it's advisable to dig up the tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter to protect them from freezing temperatures. With its stunning color palette and robust growth habit, Dahlia 'Senior's Hope' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of vintage beauty to their landscapes.
