Overview

The Tree Dahlia, Dahlia imperialis, boasts lofty heights of up to 20 ft, adorned with large, delicate lavender to white blooms measuring 6-8 in across. This perennial stands out in late fall with its bamboo-like stems. Suited for USDA zones 7-10, it requires full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Frost-sensitive, it makes a stunning backdrop or accent in a sheltered area of the garden.
