Pulp Fiction Dahlia

Mysterious and dramatic, the Pulp Fiction Dahlia (Dahlia pinnata 'Pulp Fiction') is an incredible contrasting red bloom with dark burgundy-red near-black centers and stems. The drama doesn't stop there as these daisy-like blooms are backed by deeply toothed near-black foliage with burgundy-red tones!

Pulp Fiction starts and finishes with fiery red blooms mid-summer through autumn! Growing to 8-10 inches in height when in bloom, and spreading to a dramatic 12-36 inch mound of dark foliage that accents everything in its presence. Calling butterflies, hummingbirds, and admirers to your garden!

Hardy in-ground in USDA growing zones 9-11. The shock of color rises above deep-purple, almost black foliage that holds its color all summer as well! You can bring these plants in as houseplants before frost in the winter. But cooler zones need not miss out, Pulp Fiction Dahlia can be dug in the fall, cut off the stems and green, and let them dry a few days before putting them in moist sand in a box and stored in the basement or wherever it is above freezing until spring.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Pulp Fiction blooms all summer without fading in full sun to partial sun locations in a wide range of soil types, as long as it is well-drained! Soak the tubers for a few hours before planting and plant them with their fingers spread out gently and pointing downwards. Water well and maintain consistent moisture, adding 3-4 inches of mulch helps considerably.

Dahlia tubers can be dug after frost and stored in all growing zones! Dig up the plants after the first frost to save your tubers for the next year. Let them dry out, and then place in paper bags or boxes in a cool place and sprinkle a little water on the tubers periodically to keep them from drying out. In a frost-free climate, leave the tubers in the ground and trim the stems once they die back.
