Enormous wild species dahlia
Usually grown for its huge tropical foliage
Nodding mauve flowers produced in mild climates
Out Of Stock
This enormous wild species dahlia can reach up to three metres in a single growing season. Sporting huge, elder-like leaves of around a metre long held on impressive stems which resemble bamboo, Dahlia ‘Imperialis’ is usually grown as a foliage plant. Its jungly appearance makes it a magnificent specimen for a tropical border.
The flowers don’t appear until October, so it requires a warm position to bloom, either in a greenhouse/conservatory or a sheltered position in mild gardens, where the flowers won’t risk being prematurely cut down by frost. If you succeed at the challenge, you’ll be rewarded with pale mauve, yellow-centred flowers which nod down on you from an intimidating height!
Height: 3m (118in). Spread: 1.5m (59in).
Height Up to 300cm (118in)
Spread Up to 150cm (59in)
