Organic Brookside Cheri Dahlia
6 to 7" blossom
4-5' full-size plant
Dahlia pinnata
Description
The earliest of our large dahlias, lusciously lotus-like and luminescent with long, strong stems. Brookside Cheri is one of our favorites for cutting, flowering prolifically from mid-July to frost. She’s been a staff favorite for years and was one of the first dahlias that convinced us that yes, we can grow dahlias — massive dahlias — well-adapted for short seasons — and he never lets us down!
*Friends, we will be sharing a very limited stock of dahlia tubers in 2023 followed by a longer term pause on sharing dahlia tubers in future years. More details to come in January : )
