A dazzling mix of purple and lilac Dahlias that contrast greatly upon one another, they are known to attract butterflies and make a great cut or showy flower. They like to be planted with exposure to full sunlight and require an average amount of maintenance. They prefer to be planted in clay, sandy, or loamy soils; the soil should contain pH properties that fall between acidic, alkaline, or neutral. Planting should take place between the months of March and May. You can then expect blooms to begin to form between the months of June and October.
