  • Description / Dahlia Bohemian Spartacus Dinner Plate Dahlia Bulb

    Bohemian Spartacus Dinner Plate Dahlia is a captivating addition to your garden that boasts commanding 9-inch red fully double flowers with symmetrically arranged broad, flat to slightly curled petals, displaying varied yellow variegation. This stunning dahlia blooms from early spring after the frost threat has passed, continuing its spectacle until the first frost in late fall. The bold colors and impressive size of the flowers make Bohemian Spartacus a standout choice for any garden.

    Dahlia Bohemian Spartacus is not just a singular flower but a prolific bloomer that graces your garden with an abundance of vibrant blossoms. Planting these dahlia tubers in midsummer ensures a splendid display that lasts well into the fall season. The flowers are not only visually striking but also serve as a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your garden for months. The sturdy stems stand tall even in adverse weather conditions, making it a resilient and enduring choice for your outdoor space.

    This Dahlia hybrid is a clump-forming perennial with an upright habit, and what sets it apart is its rare quality of rarely requiring staking. This feature makes it an easy-to-maintain addition to both containers and traditional garden beds. Whether as a stunning specimen or showcased in mass plantings, Dahlia Bohemian Spartacus adapts and shines in various settings.

    To optimize the growth of Bohemian Spartacus, choose sunny to partly shady locations with fertile, humus-rich, well-draining soil. This adaptable plant tolerates a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, and it can thrive in a neutral, acidic, or alkaline pH environment. Throughout the growing season, it's essential to keep the soil consistently moist, preventing it from drying out. Encourage a bushy plant by pinching out growing tips, and for a continuous profusion of blooms, deadhead spent flowers regularly.

    Note that Dahlia Bohemian Spartacus is not considered pet-friendly. However, with its striking red flowers, varied yellow variegation, and impressive blooming habits, this dinner plate dahlia elevates your garden to new heights of beauty. Whether you're aiming to create a stunning focal point or enhance your landscape with vibrant color, Bohemian Spartacus proves to be a bold and versatile choice for any garden enthusiast.

    Dahlias come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Dahlias are grown from tubers, which are similar to bulbs, so they're easy to plant. Follow our expert's advice on how to plant and care for dahlias in our Dahlia Care Guide. To learn more about dahlias, read our blog All About Dahlias.

    NOTE: In Zones 3-7, the bulbs will need to be lifted before the first frost and overwintered inside. However, dahlias can be grown as annuals in all Zones.
