The Bahama Mama is known for its blend of sunset colors ranging between pink, purple, and yellow. The gorgeous colors blend beautifully into one piece, with the petals blooming out in a unique flourish shape. The flower is perfect as a center piece for a bouquet, arrangement, or the garden.

Bloom size averages around 5 inches, with the height growing to 5 feet tall.

Harvest Life for Dahlias: The perfect time to harvest a dahlia is when the bloom is about three-quarters or half a way until ripe, usually best to pick in the early mornings or cool evening. After cutting, the dahlia does not significantly open, so it is important to avoid harvesting at the bud stage or when the flower is fully bloomed and past its prime state.
