The Dutch have named some of their best hybrids for their own Royal Family, the House of Orange. Since Orange is much more than a color in Holland, you can be sure this is one of the best dahlias. The rich glowing flowers are really a knock-out--light bright lights in the garden. And just imagine them in an arrangement!

Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, but in cooler zones, tubers can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring. Grow Dahlias in a sunny spot, in average soil that drains well. Keep moisture consistent once it begins to grow and enjoy a non-stop color parade. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and pinch off small side buds to encourage larger flowers if desired.
