Venti™ Tequila Sunrise Dahlia

Venti™ Tequila Sunrise is a mounded dahlia with peach outer petals and a yellow center. Ball Seed identifies its cultivar as ‘Baldateqim’ (PP35,131) and lists it at 16–18 inches tall and 14–16 inches wide, flowering from spring through autumn. ## Garden use Plant this warm-toned selection in a sunny border or a large container where its flowers can be enjoyed close by. The Venti series is bred for a vigorous display in gallon-size and larger pots, and Ball Seed notes that it attracts bees and butterflies. ## Growing conditions Choose sun or partial sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Ball Seed rates the Venti series for medium water; provide a thorough drink during hot, dry weather and avoid leaving the soil waterlogged. Dahlias perform best in a warm, bright position with free-draining soil. ## Maintenance Deadhead faded flowers to extend the display. After frost in cold regions, cut back and lift the tubers for dry, frost-free storage before planting again in spring.
