Notes
'Hale Bopp' dahlia (Dahlia 'Hale Bopp') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage 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 soil. The yellow blooms are medium fringed flowers up to 6 inches across with split-tip petals. The plants grow about 4 feet tall, so they make a bold backdrop in a bed.
Pairs well with Vermillionaire cuphea, First Frost hosta, and Mondo grass.
