Dahlia 'Orange Fubuki'

Dahlia ‘Orange Fubuki’ is a tuberous, deciduous perennial with ruffled apricot-orange flowers and lighter petal tips. The RHS describes bushy, clump-forming growth and flowering from July to September; the warm blooms suit mixed borders and cutting. Mature height listings include the RHS range of 0.5–1 m and a specific 80 cm listing at [Rose Cottage Plants](https://www.rosecottageplants.co.uk/dahlia-orange-fubuki/p645); see the [RHS Orange Fubuki profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/271098/dahlia-orange-fubuki-d/details) for its flower and position details. ## Maintenance Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and water when the soil begins to dry. Remove spent flowers to extend the display, and stake stems where wind or heavy blooms could make them lean. Dahlias are not reliably hardy in freezing ground: after frost, lift and dry the tubers and store them in a cool, dark, frost-free place, or protect them appropriately in mild climates. The [RHS dahlia growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide/) explains planting, watering, deadheading, and overwintering.
