Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia Tartan
Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia Tartan
Big, beautiful and showy flowers add color and style to the garden—and are absolutely stunning as cut flowers. Tartan Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia's fully double, 8" burgundy flowers are accented with white. They're the ultimate showstopper in the garden. They make an ideal focal point in the backs of borders and more, thanks to their huge flower size—blooms are literally the size of a dinner plate! Best of all, they take little to no special effort to grow, yet will flower all season long until the first frost.

Stunning display!
This prolific dahlia produced loads and loadsof gorgeous blooms on cut flower-friendly long stems.My new favorite!
Unbelievably beautiful.
This looks like peppermint candy.
Beautiful flower
Verified Buyer
This dahlia grows really tall for me. Even though I've seen it growing perfectly in other gardens in Michigan, it doesn't seem happy in mine. Blossoms tend to be misshapen and not full.
So so
Verified Buyer
We're very late but did bloom.
Prolific bloomer
My Tartans were the best of all my dahlias this year. They bloomed and bloomed all season long. Wonderful color and variations to blooms which was fun and a little unexpected. Wonderful flowers.
Non viable tubers
Verified Buyer
Never had an opportunity to see this one as the tubers were not viable when I opened the box. I was however given a replacement coupon.
Absolutely Stunning!
Verified Buyer
Omg , what a stunner! If you want a bold , punch you in the face dahlia, this is the one for you. Large, full, fluffy flowers that are simply beautiful. Tartan kept performing Spring through Fall and still gave me a gorgeous, huge bouquet when lifted in November.
Big Impact Flower!
Verified Buyer
This one is almost too much for my garden...very large and very striking. Best toward the back of a perennial bed as it grows quite tall...great stems and lots of color!
Show stopper!
Verified Buyer
I was amazed at how these grew. Close to 8' tall. I did not pinch them off to get the bigger blooms and was rewarded with a multitude of blossoms that were still quite impressive.
beautiful flowers
not giant dinnerplate but nice flowers, varied colors as seen in picture, most with white but some solid maroon. was slow growing and did not have first bloom til end of August but once it started blooms are plentiful
