Dahlinova Carolina Burgundy Dahlia

Dahlinova Carolina Burgundy is a compact dahlia with deep burgundy double flowers and an upright habit. Its early flowering and modest size suit sunny borders, patio containers, and small cutting gardens. ## Placement and season Plant where the flowers can be seen near the front of a bed or grouped in a container. [Campbell’s Nursery](https://www.campbellsnursery.com/product/landscape-plants/annuals/spring-summer-annuals/dahlinova-carolina-burgundy/) describes deep burgundy blossoms and early bloom, while the [Plant Peddler catalog](https://carlinsales.com/media/1373/plantpeddler_catalog-2023.pdf) lists Carolina Burgundy as upright, about 10–14 inches tall and 12 inches wide. The [NC State Extension dahlia guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/dahlia/common-name/bedding-dahlia/) notes that dahlias flower from late summer into fall and work in borders, containers, and cutting gardens. ## Growing Choose full sun and fertile soil that stays evenly moist while draining freely. Leave room for air to move around the foliage, especially in humid weather. ## Maintenance Water regularly during dry spells and avoid waterlogged soil. Remove faded flower heads to encourage continued bloom. Dahlias are frost-sensitive; protect or lift tubers where winter cold requires it.
