3 Tubers Red Cap Dahlia Dahlia pinnata

Red Cap Dahlia is a compact, free-flowering dahlia prized for its deep crimson-red blooms that sit atop sturdy dark-green stems. This tuberous perennial produces a profusion of single to semi-double flowers throughout summer and into fall, making it a standout choice for borders, patio containers, and cut-flower gardens.
Red Cap Dahlia works beautifully as a bedding plant, in mixed perennial borders, or in cutting gardens where its rich color adds depth and contrast. The blooms are long-lasting when cut and pair well with lighter-toned flowers. Tubers are easy to plant and reward growers with dependable seasonal color once established.
