Decorative Dahlia Tangerine Sorbet

Decorative Dahlia Tangerine Sorbet

Deliciously vivid with a unique coloration that attracts plenty of attention, this new decorative dahlia is sure to be a true landscape standout. Tangerine Sorbet is a treat for the eyes with its amazing size and bold reddish-orange petals that surround clean white centers. The blooms are fully double and reach an impressive size of 5" across. Like other decorative types, it is equally eye catching grouped in feature gardens and along bordered walkways as it is in a pretty patio container. Plant alongside solid white dahlias or as a colorful accent flower to nearby midsummer perennials. A wonderful bedding variety, it also creates stunning indoor bouquets.

Nice tubers

Nice size tubers. I had potted the tubers I received and both potted Dahlias had grown very good. One had a nice size bloom ready to open when something ate it. The other pot had also produced a bloom but much smaller. It had not opened all the way before something ate that one too.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

These dahlias are robust but they bloom tangerine without the sorbet. Perhaps they will show more sorbet in year 2

Absolutely beautiful, the way they look in the picture is exactly the color that they bloomed. I planted in all different areas in the yard and 2 in pots and they all came up and bloomed mostly all summer and as of this writing on Oct 22 they r still as beautiful as ever, I am not looking forward to the first frost, totally bums me out when all my flowers r done for the winter. I'm at work writing this review or I would definitely of added pictures.

Got the wrong color. They all grew and flowered, but they were red and white, see photo. I'm giving 1 star because I can't judge what I didn't get.
