Dahlia ‘Akita’ – Dinnerplate Dahlia
Yes, I said “Dinnerplate.” Even though there not an official classification, a lot of people commonly use it, so don’t get snappy with us for using the language customers like.
The Dahlia ‘Akita’ is a showstopping dahlia with massive 8–10” fully double blooms. It’s like an autumn sunset! Its amber blend of red, orange, burgundy, bronze, and yellow makes it one of the most flame-like dahlias you can grow.
Introduced in 1986 by Japanese hybridizer Konishi, ‘Akita’ is prized for its sturdy stems, making it a standout in the garden and an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements. Bold, colorful, and unforgettable—this novelty dahlia always steals the show.
