Dahlia Crème de Cognac
Dahlia 'Crème de Cognac' is a decorative dahlia variety that brings warm, autumnal hues to summer gardens. The blooms feature a harmonious blend of butterscotch, copper, peach, and a hint of cherry red, creating a captivating display. Each flower measures approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter, making it a striking addition to garden borders and floral arrangements. This dahlia reaches a height of about 40 inches, making it suitable for the back of borders or as a focal point in garden beds. Dahlia 'Crème de Cognac' blooms profusely from mid-summer until the first frost, providing a continuous display of color. For optimal growth, plant 'Crème de Cognac' in full sun and in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant the tubers in spring after the danger of frost has passed, about 4 to 6 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.
