Decorative Dahlia Kick-Off

We're so proud of this new introduction, we just couldn't wait to present it to our customers—we think you'll feel the same way. Kick-Off is a wonderful addition to summer garden beds and patio pots, delivering loads of showstopping 4" double blooms in a soft shade of salmon pink. Touches of lilac and tones of yellow make the blooms look as though they were lit from within. A 40" height makes this decorative dahlia perfect as a cut flower or back border addition. Dahlias bloom over an extended period, stopping only at the first frost of fall.
