Dahlia Ball ‘Brown Sugar’
Dahlia 'Brown Sugar' displays large, ball-type rusty-orange flowers on long stems.
Dahlia ‘Brown Sugar’ is a beauty for the mid to back of the garden with large, ball-type, bright rusty-orange blooms that intensify towards the centre of the flowers and on the back of each petal. Blooms can reach up to 4 inches wide and are held on tall 48 to 54 inch strong stems. Fantastic as cut flowers too. 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.
