Dahlia Irish Pinwheel
Product Description
Dahlia 'Irish Pinwheel'
Note: We are taking a break from selling dahlias in order to build up our mother stock of tubers and to improve the process for our customers and our farm crew. Learn more about our decision and the future of Floret dahlias.
We’re continuing to research and experiment with different ways to share dahlias with other flower lovers. Until we are able to offer dahlia tubers again, we have compiled a list of our favorite dahlia suppliers.
One of the coolest varieties in the dahlia patch, this funky novelty grabs the attention of everyone who visits. The beautiful, uniquely pointed petals are a soft glowing gold, brushed with a hint of cherry-red. Plants churn out an abundance of tall, strong stems all season long, making them a fantastic variety for cutting. A must grow if you like to live on the wild side.

Harvesting/Vase Life:
Cut when blooms are ¾ of the way open, but not overly ripe. To do this, check the back of each flower head, looking for firm and lush petals versus papery or slightly dehydrated ones. Place into water with hydrator, or sear stem ends by placing into 160-180° water and allow to cool for 1 hour. Blooms will last 5-6 days.
