'Chianti' dahlia (Dahlia 'Chianti') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. The yellow blooms have a strong purplish red flush and open about 95 mm wide. Stems reach about 35 to 39 inches tall, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the flowers. N. Kops bred it.
