Description

The Dinner Plate Dahlia Emory Paul, 'Dahlia Emory Paul', produces a orchid lavender flower. It is the largest we've ever seen! Marvel at the size and color of our "dinnerplate dahlias"! Truly as big as a dinner plate, these specially-selected prize-winning size dahlias are the most spectacular we've ever offered. A single stem will make a statement and you'll find your-self cutting and sharing these fall beauties with friends. They are hardy in zones 8-10; elsewhere dig and store in frost-free area. Please note that pinching of the secondary buds will produce even larger flowers. They produce new flowers all summer so you can enjoy them both outdoors and indoors as cut flowers. Native to Mexico and Central America, dahlias provide us with more pleasure than almost any other summer bulb we have because they produce an abundance of wonderful flowers perfect for 'gift giving flower arrangements' throughout early summer and again in late summer until frost. Especially if they are picked for arrangements, these 'cut and come again' plants require almost no care, they appear to be pest resistant and they come in a myriad of colors. Plant in full sun or partial shade. Dahlias have different shapes from the tightly formed flowers of the pompom-types to the looser ones of the cactus-types and the decorative in-between types, they're all terrific!
