Notes
'Pacific Time' dahlia (Dahlia 'Pacific Time') is a bulb for containers, cut flowers, and butterfly gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry soil. The semi-double blooms are 3.5 inches wide and show bold reds and icy whites. Each flower is unique, so some are all red, some all white, and some a mix. It does not like winter wet, so lift and store the tubers in a cool, dry place indoors.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Purple sage, and Creeping thyme.
