XXL Aztec™ Veracruz Dahlia

XXL Aztec™ Veracruz is a dahlia with double pink-and-white flowers. Dümmen Orange lists XXL Veracruz (code 73512) in its XXL series as an upright, vigorous plant with extra-extra-large flowers for pots and landscaping. Dahlias as a group flower from summer into autumn and grow best in sun and fertile, free-draining soil. ## Landscape Use Use this vigorous, upright selection in a sunny border or a large container. Dümmen Orange describes XXL Veracruz as well-branched and suitable for both pots and landscape planting. The Royal Horticultural Society notes that dahlias suit sunny borders and that smaller forms can be grown in containers. ## Growing Conditions Choose a warm, sheltered site with sun and fertile soil that stays moist but drains freely. Water plants in dry, hot weather, and avoid waterlogged ground. Dahlias grow from tubers and are tender to freezing conditions, so plan winter protection where frost is expected. ## Maintenance Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom. Protect tubers from freezing; in cold climates, lift and store them in a frost-free place after top growth dies back.
