Colorful Decorative Dahlia Lake Ontario
Colorful Decorative Dahlia Lake Ontario
Yellow flowers with thin, red edges.
With their soft, quilled petals and vibrant colors, dahlias add a burst of color and life to your late-summer gardens. Decorative dahlias produce more, but smaller blooms than their Dinnerplate cousins. The mid-sized flowers are great for fresh-cut bouquets and arrangements.

Pretty bloom.
Verified Buyer
This is a beautiful dahlia. However, only two came up and only one of the two has blooms. Nice green plant but no blooms from the buds. The first one opened but the rest of them did not. The one blossom was very colorful and bright.
Lake Ontario Dahlia

Nice healthy tubers. A good bloomer. Red picotee not as pronounced as in the pictures.
Some thrived in spite of droughty summer.
Verified Buyer
We've had a dry, hot summer - more so than usual. A couple of them didn't sprout or come up. One came up but was stunted and never bloomed. The others were very pretty. Especially the pink ones.
Yes
Verified Buyer
They are blooming great and look good. Not all look just like the picture from catalog, but they are still pretty. Could be due to soil, fertilizer, etc

I planted these a bit early, weather only in upper 60s but they did great. Did well in full sun and partial shade. neighbor loves them too! did well through the drought we had with minimal watering. Best color showed up by mid-summer- just like the photo.
