Alauna Clair-Obscur Dahlia

Alauna Clair-Obscur Cactus Dahlia are an eye-stealing, unique, two-tone dahlia. The center of this beaut is a deep burgundy-purple that fades into violet and pure white on the tips. Produces flowers that are 6-8-inches and bloom from summer to fall. Alauna Clair-Obscur ships as a bare root. We like growing from bare roots because they establish quickly, become twice the size of a potted plant in the first season, and eliminate the need for plastic pots (a win for the environment).

Alauna Clair-Obscur Dahlia Plant Care Instructions: Plants should only be watered if there is no rain for a week or if the plant starts wilting. If you want more blooms, snip off the top leaf stem once there are at least 3-4 sets of sets of leaves growing. In the fall, after frost has turned the foliage brown, the tubers should be dug back up and stored for the winter.
