'Sandra' dahlia (Dahlia 'Sandra') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator 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. It grows about 43 inches tall and bears purple-red blooms in summer and again in autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. H.G.J. Broekhof bred it in 1994.
