Dahlia 'Extase' Decorative Dahlia Bulb

Embrace the beauty of spring with Dahlia 'Extase'. This stunning perennial blooms from midsummer to late fall, adorning your garden with 4- to 6-inch two-toned flowers in exquisite shades of salmon and apricot. With their long, robust stems, these eye-catching blooms not only enhance your garden's aesthetic, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, but also make for excellent cut flowers, adding a touch of nature's beauty to your indoor spaces.

Dahlia 'Extase', a unique Dahlia hybrid, is a compact, upright perennial that forms a neat clump. This versatile plant is a fantastic addition to any garden, adding charm to flower beds and borders. While it makes a striking standalone specimen, especially pretty in a patio pot, its beauty truly shines when planted in groups or masses.

For optimal growth, dahlia prefers sunny locations with fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. It tolerates a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, and adapts to neutral, acidic, or alkaline soils. To ensure a healthy, lush plant, keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Regular pinching and deadheading will encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Dahlia can be grown in Zones 3-7 if the bulb is lifted and stored during winter. This heat-tolerant and deer-resistant plant is a gardener's dream, but it's important to note that it's not pet friendly.
