Taratahi Ruby
This is a lovely big deep red. I think it is Taratahi Ruby - I bought some mystery tubers and I have quite a lot of these ones growing! They have incredibly strong and straight stems. A hint of white stripe on the underside of the petals, and a dash of yellow.
I have seen Taratahi Ruby at a dahlia show, and it was much bigger than mine, so I’m not sure if mine is accurate or not. They looked pretty much the same otherwise. My flowers this year are around 10cm across.
Very fun addition to either the moody dark selection or the bright selection!
You can pre-order tubers soon. This is a dahlia tuber that I have grown for one season in my garden.
