Notes

'Alfred Grille' dahlia (Dahlia 'Alfred Grille') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The petals curve upward. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms, so it adds life to the garden.

Pairs well with Vermillionaire cuphea, Lemongrass, and Jackmanii clematis.
