Dahlia Embassy

Dahlia 'Embassy' is a striking variety known for its deep purple-red blooms with a subtle white suffusion on the reverse of the petals. The fully double flowers measure approximately 4 inches in diameter, adding a bold splash of color to garden borders and floral arrangements. This dahlia reaches a height of about 50 inches, making it suitable for the back of borders or as a focal point in garden beds. Dahlia 'Embassy' blooms profusely from mid-summer until the first frost, providing a continuous display of color. For optimal growth, plant 'Embassy' in full sun and in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant the tubers in spring after the danger of frost has passed, about 4 to 6 inches deep and spaced 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the season. In colder regions, it's advisable to dig up the tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter to protect them from freezing temperatures. With its stunning color palette and robust growth habit, Dahlia 'Embassy' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of tropical beauty to their landscapes.
