Description
Dahlia ‘Penhill Watermelon’ will make a splash in the garden with dinner plate size blooms boasting long, twisty-twirly, watermelon-pink and mellow-yellow coloured petals. Fully double flowers of up to 12 inches wide are supported on strong, sturdy stems 40-48 inches high. This dahlia will provide huge interest and a focal point in the back of the border and as a cut flower. Blooms from summer to frost. 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.
