'TANGERINE SORBET' Decorative Dahlia (Dahlia x 'tangerine sorbet')

Deliciously vivid with a unique coloration that attracts plenty of attention, this new decorative dahlia is sure to be a true landscape standout. 'Tangerine Sorbet' is a treat for the eyes with its amazing size and bold reddish-orange petals that surround clean white centers. The blooms are fully-double and reach an impressive size of 5" across. Like other decorative types, it is equally eye-catching grouped in feature gardens and along bordered walkways as it is in a pretty patio container. Plant alongside solid-white dahlias or as a colorful accent flower to nearby mid-summer perennials. A wonderful bedding variety, it also creates stunning indoor bouquets.

Zones 8-11. Not hardy in the Champlain Valley. Lift roots in fall after plants die back, store inside, and replant the next year.
