The legendary 'Kidd's Climax' (1947) produces huge 10-inch dinner-plate blooms in a luscious blend of pink and creamy yellow atop 4-foot plants. Sturdy and free-flowering, it remains a benchmark for giant dahlias.
Start tubers in greenhouse late winter/early spring for cuttings, or divide clumps. Many dahlia pests and diseases apply.
