Like a sunrise in your garden, Lady Darlene Dahlia blooms in sunny mimosa tones. A dinnerplate dahlia variety with butter-yellow petals curving backward, its striking grenadine-red tips have a soft, airbrushed look. To get maximum-size blooms of nine inches or so, you'll need to disbud this plant down to a few blooms. Without disbudding, you'll get more flowers, each several inches across. At its mature height, Lady Darlene stands about three feet tall, on par with other large dinnerplate species. A stunner in a vase or bouquet, this double-blooming dinnerplate dahlia is a must have for your cutting garden. Dahlia 'Lady Darlene'
