I’ve tried to grow lots of different bicolor dahlias and Checkers is the first one that has produced with significant quantities of stems per plant, reliable color and that perfect, long-lasting ball shape. If you’re looking for a dahlia that consistently catches the eye, there’s nothing like the high contrast of red and white Checkers! Plants grow to 5’ in ideal soil conditions and create 3-4 inch flowers. These are delightful!
