Dahlia 'Maxime'

If you appreciate art, you’ll love the amazing mandala-like blooms of Dahlia 'Maxime'. Each unique flower is a masterpiece of soothingly symmetrical design with precisely sequenced petals which form the most wondrous whorls. Every scarlet red petal is edged with an ultra-fine golden margin, defining that distinct and attention-grabbing petal pattern. In addition to its dazzling, exotic looks, Dahlia 'Maxime' is strong and robust. Blooms are produced by the plenty through summer and autumn. They last well and the generous, sturdy stems make it a worthwhile candidate for the cutting patch. With all that going for it, it’s not surprising if you feel powerless to resist the divine Dahlia 'Maxime'!  

Dahlias are the superstars of the late summer garden and Dahlia 'Maxime' is no exception. All dahlias tend to be at their peak in late August/September and that’s the case whether they’re planted in early or late spring. If you can’t wait to see your dahlias, encourage your 'Maxime' dahlias to start flowering from as early as June by potting them up indoors in early spring and growing them on before planting them out after risk of frost has past. Keep cutting and deadheading these fantastic flowers through the season and more will continue to grow, all the way up until the first frosts.
