Description
Dahlia 'Bahama Mama' is a decorative dahlia variety that brings a tropical flair to gardens with its vibrant blooms. The flowers showcase a captivating blend of soft banana yellow centers transitioning to mauve-pink at the petal edges, reminiscent of a Bahamian sunset. Each bloom measures approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter, making a striking statement in any garden setting. This dahlia reaches a height of about 40 to 50 inches, making it suitable for the back of borders or as a focal point in garden beds. 'Bahama Mama' blooms profusely from midsummer until the first frost, providing a continuous display of color. For optimal growth, plant 'Bahama Mama' in full sun and in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant the tubers in spring after the danger of frost has passed, about 4 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 'Bahama Mama' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of tropical beauty to their landscapes.
