Border Decorative Dahlia Go Go Purple
Border Decorative Dahlia Go Go Purple
Dahlia lovers with limited space will love Go Go Purple Dahlia. We've dubbed this compact wonder the perfect patio dahlia because it grows just 14-20" tall, but produces large, showy flowers that reach 4-6" across. The fully double, reddish-purple flowers are sure to add wonderful color and a festive feel to the garden. This dahlia's compact size makes it ideal for planting in sunny front borders and in patio containers. Go Go Purple Dahlia produces plenty of showy flowers for cut-flower displays too. The plants bloom continuously from midsummer to frost and require no staking. Deer tend to avoid.

Much Taller Than Advertised
Verified Buyer
I was disappointed that this variety was listed as 14-20" in height, but all of them were 30"+ tall. At the advertised height, they would have been nice in containers on my patio; at their actual height, they toppled over.

Disappointed
I purchased two sets, 10 roots in all. Five are growing, nice green foliage but no flowers yet. Two of the other five had broken roots, but I planted them hoping for the best. I am disappointed. The five still show no signs of life. Hopefully the remaining five will flower soon.

Completely different than advertised
I love this company and order a ton of Dahlias every year. But this one was a complete miss. I ordered over 20 of these and the flowers were singles, and dark red. Not a double, or any purple anywhere!

Never bloomed
I believe I received these too late in season. They grew tall but never produced a bud or flower
Disappointed
Verified Buyer
Several pieces of roots, none complete. I planted them hoping. Simply, almost nothing but a few stalks inches high. Certainly no blooms. Most did not have eyes which may be the reason.

Few flowers
Verified Buyer
All five of my plants grew to varying sizes, but I only got a few buds and flowers on each one. Flowers were pretty, but not nearly as plentiful as live plants I've purchased in years past.
Avoid in zone 8 B
Verified Buyer
Do not do well in zone 8B. Out of the 250 dahlia bulbs planted (Border Dahlias Mixed, Decorative Dahlia Heatwave, Boarder Decorative Dahlia Go Go Purple, Dark Leafed Sunshine Dahlia )in May, I only was able to harvest 60 flowers worth putting in an arrangement by October 20.
Wrong Variety
Verified Buyer
Wasn't as described. Blooms were a dark red, no purple at all, Disappointing to grow all season and end up with the wrong variety/color.
Merchant Response

Love this!
Go Go Purple has performed so well! The blooms are beautiful, and the plant is packed with them. Strong stems, no need to stake. The color is a little more maroon than purple, but it's beautiful nonetheless. I can't wait to divide it and have more next year.
