From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dahlia 'Akita' is a branching, tuberous tender perennial cultivar with large chrysanthemum petals in shades of dark crimson to red blending to yellow toward their heart. Their tips are white on their underside. The flowers are as large as 5 in. wide (13 cm). This Dahlia belongs to the Novelty Fully Double classification and won over 60 awards.

As with all dahlias, this plant flowers from July until the first frosts of fall. Frost blackens its foliage, and its tubers need to be overwintered in a dry, frost-free place.

Plant Profile: Height:36-48 in. (90-120 cm) Spread: 45 cm (18 in) Site: Full Sun Soil: Fertile, free-draining Hardiness: Half hardy
