Dahlia Radegast

Dahlia 'Radegast' is a striking decorative dahlia variety renowned for its large, playful blooms. Each flower features a white base adorned with lilac-pink stripes, creating a vibrant and eye-catching display. The blooms can reach up to 10 inches in diameter, making them a standout addition to any garden. This dahlia typically grows to a height of approximately 50-60 inches, making it suitable for the back of borders or as a focal point in garden beds. Dahlia 'Radegast' blooms profusely from July until the first frost, providing a continuous display of color throughout the summer and into the fall. For optimal growth, plant 'Radegast' in full sun and in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant the tubers in spring after the danger of frost has passed, about 3 to 5 inches deep and spaced 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the season. In colder regions, it's advisable to dig up the tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter to protect them from freezing temperatures. With its vibrant color palette and robust growth habit, Dahlia 'Radegast' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of bold beauty to their landscapes.
