This Rock Star Dahlia is uniquely different from the average dahlia look, with its gorgeous deep red bloom. The shape of the flower has a ring of petals surrounding a central fluffy sphere in the center. This overall shape gives the flower an open bloom. Its color is a magenta cranberry look, making it a small but impactful look for your garden.

Bloom averages 3 inches, while height reaches 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.
