A beautiful addition to your cut flower or container gardens, the exotic looking Dahlia 'Akita' will also serve well in sunny garden borders as it has a sturdy stem unlikely to bow as much as other dahlia’s stems can do. The incredible colouring of the Dahlia 'Akita' will not allow you, or anyone else walking through your garden between July and October, to ignore it. If the combination of burnt orange, fiery red and yellow petals aren’t enough to ensure attention, the size will be. The huge flowers of this fully double bloom put it in the dinner plate category of decorative dahlias which can sport diameters of up to a foot or 30cm.
