Experience a burst of vibrant color in your garden with Dahlia 'Park Princess'. This cactus dahlia blooms profusely from midsummer to late fall, showcasing 4-inch double flowers with a luscious creamy-yellow core surrounded by radiant pink petals. The long and robust stems hold these ornamental blooms aloft, beckoning butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden and serving as stunning cut flowers.
'Park Princess' is a clump-forming perennial with an upright posture. Although dahlia stands out as a solo specimen or container plant, it truly shines when planted in clusters or groups in garden beds and borders.
Dahlia thrives in sunny spots with fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, and protection from strong winds. It can adapt to clay, loam, or sandy soils with a neutral, acidic, or alkaline pH. During the growing season, it requires consistent moisture and should not be allowed to dry out. To encourage bushier growth, pinch out the growing tips. Deadheading spent flowers will promote additional blooms. For those in Zones 3-7, the bulb can be lifted and stored during winter for replanting in spring. Note that this plant is not pet friendly.
