Notes
'Senior's Hope' dahlia (Dahlia 'Senior's Hope') is a perennial for borders and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Violet flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. It grows 35 to 47 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide, so give it a spot where the tall stems have room. J. Vleut bred it.
Pairs well with Montbretia, Black-eyed Susan, and Sneezeweed.
