Dahlia Ball ‘Babette’

Dahlia 'Babette' displays a ball-type form with deep wine-red blooms and yellow centres.

Dahlia ‘Babette’ displays large, ball-type, deep wine-red flowers with yellow eyes. The rounded petals are cupped creating a tight and dense flower head of just under four inches in width. Excellent in cut flower arrangements and in the mixed border for punctuated garden drama. Dahlia are hardy to coastal BC’s winter temperatures but not to winter wet. Protect from rain in free-draining soils, plant in pots that can be moved and protected, or lift and store in a cool, dry, frost free location. They are moderately deer resistant.
