The OMG dahlia is a part of the dinner plate category, with its giant bold appearance. The flower blooms in a gorgeous golden-yellow palette that can be pleasing for the eyes. The petals fade from fierce red to a bee yellow color, giving the overall flower a flame-like look.

The bloom averages around 10-11 inches, with the height growing up to 3 1/2 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.
