Belle of Barmera is another "Dinnerplate" Dahlia that can get to be as big as 9 inches in diameter. The flower petals consist of a warm sunset blend of apricot and coral to raspberry and rose pink. Belle of Barmera 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).
Dahlia Companion Plants: Geranium, Salvia
Belle of Barmera 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.
