Dahlia 'Kelvin Floodlight'
A classic 50 years old this season!
These enormous blooms reach 11 to 12 inches wide -- these go beyond "dinnerplate" size and into "serving platter" territory! Packed with vibrant yellow petals with nicely pointed tips, they are double flowered and breathtakingly clear and pretty.
Give this plant plenty of sunshine and well-enriched, well-drained soil and it will delight you with gigantic flowers over a long summer-into-fall season. It reaches 36 inches high and about 18 to 24 inches wide, so stake it when the buds begin to set -- you'll need the extra support for these big, heavy blooms!
An exhibiton-quality Formal Decorative Dahlia, 'Kelvin Floodlight' is destined to become one of your very favorites. North of its hardiness range, plant the bulbs in spring after danger of frost, and dig them up in fall before the first hard frost. They will grow and flower vigorously for years! Zones 8-10.
