Motto Dahlia is an outstanding variety that blooms in bright citrus shades. It will surprise and delight you with blooms nearly eight inches across dazzle in a lovely shade of apricot-orange, merging to yellow at the tips and at the center. Sturdy, upright stems easily support this wealth of color. Create a miniature forest of brightly-colored dahlias by planting Motto in groups of five or ten. Motto is absolutely delightful as a cut flower, and you can achieve the largest of blooms by pruning off all other buds so all the energy goes into one.
