Notes

'Labyrinth' dahlia (Dahlia 'Labyrinth') 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 dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 35 to 47 inches tall and blooms in summer and again in autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Montbretia, Black-eyed Susan, and Purple top.
