The Jesse G dahlia is known for its rich plum color that can be viewed as a deep wine color depending on the lighting. The flower’s petals are a perfectly rounded shape, creating a gorgeous sphere-like texture, grown on tall and sturdy stems. This flower is a perfect dramatic statement for the garden or bouquets.

Bloom size averages 3 /12 inches, with the height averaging 4-5 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.
