Decorative Dahlia Arbatax
Decorative Dahlia Arbatax
Features a unique color pattern for dahlias. The soft-quilled, white petals bear defined pink edges, creating a very pretty, refined look. A prolific bloomer, Arbatax Decorative Dahlia starts producing midsized, 3½" flowers in midsummer and continues blooming until the first frost in the fall. Growing 36" tall, this decorative dahlia adds charm to the sunny garden—and the flowers look stunning in fresh-cut bouquets and arrangements. Decorative dahlias produce more, but smaller blooms than their dinnerplate cousins. Deer tend to avoid.

Gorgeous blooms.
Absolutely gorgeous! There was lots of variety in bloom color & pattern. Some of the blooms were almost white, while others were bright pink. Unfortunately, the plants didn't start blooming until August.
Beautiful even in a pot
This is just as pictured. Lovely

Bought this in 2023 and loved it. The picture is true to its color.

First one to bloom in zone 6A mid-July. Vigorous plants, 4/5 sprouted. Next year will not pinch plants to get longer stems.

The Arbatax Dahlia was stunning- each bloom was petaled perfection! I also dug these to save for next year and the tubers it produced were gigantic.
Pretty
Small, not as vibrant as the photo, but pretty.
Pretty Dahlia!

Grew well and bloomed well. Flowers a bit smaller than expected, but color was phenomenal. If you want a very pretty Dahlia, this may be it. Very prolific with tons of flowers
love the blooms

- Q
When can you put bulbs in? Is October ok for this or is spring better? I'm thinking tulips I plant now is it the same with the Dalia Arbatax?
- Asked by Chris
- Verified Reply - AngelaDahlias are frost tender and can be planted in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. You will want to dig them up in the fall and store them in a frost free location for winter. They can be planted again the following spring. If you order now, we will ship the tubers in the spring. An estimated shipping date will be provided with your order confirmation email.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Do you sell individual Dahlia tubers? Or do you pull them from the ground attached to the stalks, count the tubers, wait until an order comes in and sends the tubers still attached to the stalks? Often times the tubers get soft and won't grow. I want individual tubers separated from the stalks, stored, and then sent out.
- Asked by none
