2023 Fuirk Home Award Winner (nominated, judged, and awarded by Rebecca and Charlotte)
Unanimously ranked #1 on the 2024 Must-Grow list. In all transparency, Rebecca was the only voter on this particular list.
Tears literally came to my eyes the first time I saw Danique in bloom. Words and pictures cannot express the magic of this bloom! The unusual hue has a coppery metallic hue on top of saturated berry and wine tones and iridescent streaks. It stands out against super dark foliage. Blooms range from 3-5"
The plant stature is compact, never reaching more than 36 - 40" tall, so it is very manageable anywhere in the garden.
Even though it is a shorter plant, it still has very cuttable stems for hand-tied bouquets. It was early to bloom in under 100 days, and unless you live in a super windy area you can probably get by without staking; use your best judgement and watch how it is growing because I don't want any nasty emails about this later.

Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.
Planting:
Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.
Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction.
Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.
Care:
When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.
Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
