About This Plant
Dahlia Heatwave is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Dahlias are tuberous summer-fall perennials with spectacular flowers in nearly every color and form. Lift tubers for winter in cold areas; many overwinter in PNW.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Hardy USDA Zone 8 to 11. Heavy feeders. Stake taller cultivars. Watch for slugs on emerging shoots.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
