Crème de Cassis Dahlia

This darling dahlia will charm guests in the garden and welcome visitors to your home in a fresh-cut arrangement. It's a highly productive plant, especially with proper deadheading. That's the beauty of using Creme de Cassis Dahlia in the vase. You cutting the blooms prompts the plant to produce more, which prolongs the season. Dahlias are tubers, and in most zones you'll need to either treat this as an annual or lift and store it in fall. If you plan to store it, you can divide as you're lifting or replanting for an expanding display in the upcoming years. Once it gets into the ground it'll grow quickly. Dahlia 'Creme de Cassis'
