Description
Capture the essence balmy summer sunsets with a blazing display of Dahlia 'Lady Darlene'. These big and brazen blooms will be unmissable in your summer scheme, turning up the heat with its giant bicolour flowers. Watch as the blooms change as they develop, the first petals to emerge are a striking shade of brick red, then next to reveal themselves are the inner petals in a shade of custard yellow, each splashed with a bright strawberry-red tip. The inviting, sunny disposition of Dahlia 'Lady Darlene' is difficult to ignore. Invite guests over and they’ll find it impossible not to fall in love with these fabulous flowers!
The long, slender stems of Dahlia 'Lady Darlene' lend themselves well to cutting and, thanks to their impressive size, even one single flower in a narrow vase will create a strong statement. With such large, heavily-petalled blooms, you’ll find a display of these dahlias completely hypnotic. Add Dahlia 'Lady Darlene' to a hot-colour border if you love those toasty tones, contrast with a dark-flowered dahlias like 'Arabian Night' or 'Black Jack' to really make them pop. Or, splash some cool into the mix with some mellow-coloured dahlias like 'Blue Boy' or 'Senior’s Hope'.
