Prolific bloomer. Great cut flower!
I've had them for three years and they have been prolific bloomers with sturdy stems. They make gorgeous, long-lasting cut flowers. I live in zone 8a and do not usually dig them up in winter and they come back each spring. I highly recommend Otto's Thrill.
Enormous blooms
I have planted this over and over for 4 years. From K Van Bourgondien.
This Dahlia has gifted me with TONS of blooms.

HUGE

Verified Buyer
Good growth, strong stems, solid blooms.
Gorgeous form and color
Verified Buyer
I bought these in 2021. Tubers were started early indoors and then planted in full sun in far corner of my yard. They started blooming mid-July with blooms as big as a baby's face. Blooms were impressive even from my 2nd floor bedroom window. Flowers look exactly as the picture. Stems are short for a single cut flower but you can cut a 12-18 inch branch with multiple blooms and buds. Stems are very strong. I ordered again in 2022. This year tubers couldn't be shipped early, were more dessicated and broken. But three clumps sprouted. I planted these in my front yard this year. Plants were 4.5 feet, strong stems required minimal staking, reliable blooms. Iowa, Zone 5b
Fantastic!
Verified Buyer
My favorite dahlia. Very impressive in the garden. Easy to grow.
