Product Description

With its enormous 10-inch, beach ball-shaped flowers, Dahlia Spartacus is a true showstopper that’s sure to win blue ribbons at any fair! Beloved by dahlia connoisseurs, this variety stands out for its striking color, vigorous growth, and spectacular exhibition-sized blooms.

From midsummer to the first frost, Spartacus produces a continuous display of velvety, fully double crimson flowers. The petals, slightly darker at the center, curve elegantly back toward the stem, creating a refined, orb-like shape. Perfect for adding bold drama to the rear of a sunny border or for creating stunning fresh-cut floral arrangements.

Key Features:

Massive, velvety blooms: Up to 10 inches across.
Deep crimson flowers: With a rich, textured appearance.
Nonstop blooming: From midsummer through frost.
Versatile use: Ideal for garden borders and floral designs.

Elevate your garden with the bold elegance of Dahlia Spartacus—a must-have for gardeners and flower enthusiasts alike.
