The Hot Tamale Dahlia is known for its fiery sunrise blooms, with its overlapping petals bringing a bold look into your garden or center piece. The bright red fades to a lighter yellow towards the end of the tips, bringing out the overall fire look.

The blooms average 6-7 inches, with the plant height growing 4 foot strong.

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.
