25 Seeds Linda Dahlia Flower Perennial Bloom Garden Cut Flower

Linda dahlia is a compact, tuberous perennial grown for its abundant, formal, decorative-type blooms in warm shades of orange, apricot, and soft coral. Plants form tidy, well-branched mounds that flower freely from midsummer until frost, making them a dependable choice for borders, containers, and cutting gardens.
The long-lasting blooms are excellent for fresh bouquets and floral arrangements, and the plants continue to produce new flowers when spent blooms are removed. Compact habit suits small gardens and patio planters, while open blooms draw beneficial pollinators through the summer season.
