Real showstopper sports enormous flowers!
Seldom offered and often difficult to come by, Sir Alf Ramsey truly stands out wherever this very special dahlia is used. Its upright, fast-growing, 42" stems are strong enough to carry its massive but elegant 10--12" flower heads from midsummer until the first frost of fall. The lush, lavender-pink fully double blooms have white centres and are packed with layer after layer of beautifully formed petals. With its outrageous size, amazing colouring and unsurpassed form, it's easy to understand why this dahlia—named for a celebrated English football player and manager---has been a favourite in our test and show gardens. Ideal in back of a border or a presentation garden. For even larger blooms, try pinching secondary buds!
