'Henriette' dahlia (Dahlia 'Henriette') is a perennial 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. It grows about 35 to 47 inches tall, so you can place it near the back of a bed.
