Dahlia ‘Kogane Fubuki’

Product Details

The fabulous 5” blossoms of Laciniated Dahlia ‘Kogane Fubuki’ are irresistible for two reasons. First is the rounded, appealingly shaggy form that can be traced to petal tips that sport a fine fringe (and may have inspired use of the name ‘Fubuki,’ which means ‘snowstorm’ in Japanese). Next is the remarkable variability in the coloration of these flowers. While many arrive with pale pink petals tipped in golden yellow, our trials produced broad variations in those two colors – with some blossoms a solid, darker pink and some solid yellow, and everything in between. Our staff even checked to be sure the flowers were all coming from the same plant. They were. This is a gorgeous chameleon for gardens and vases.

Dahlias are native to Mexico and South America, and hold their display in reserve for mid- to late summer and early fall. The genus offers incredible diversity of color and form and we offer dozens of varieties every year. Dahlias are perennial but not cold hardy – tubers can overwinter in the ground in Zone 8 or warmer; in colder climates tubers can be dug after frost and easily stored indoors over winter. Please note – Dahlias should be planted outside once the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature has reached approximately 60°. We ship tubers beginning in late March and they can be stored until planting time if necessary. For more information on growing Dahlias, click on the Growing Guide tab on this page.
