'Sweet As "Lachie J"'

Sweet As "Lachie J" is a groovy little firecracker of a dahlia—rocking blazing fire-engine red petals around a golden open centre like a floral sunburst. Bred by Sweet As Blooms in Wairarapa, NZ, this bloom stands tall on strong, sturdy stems and puts on a dazzling garden show. The open heart is a bumblebee magnet, buzzing with life all summer long. She’s more of a garden disco queen than a vase sitter though—short vase life, big garden vibes.
