Otto's Thrill (Dinner Plate)
This one is the show stopper. My ultimate favourite dahlia award is always a toss up between the Maki, Ottos Thrill and Fleurel. Isn’t she a beauty? Dinner plate sized, always tons of blooms, strong stems, super tall! Just an all around fun plant to have in the garden. Like the sunflower of dahlias if you get lucky, and I think you will. Year after year this has been on of my largest blooming variety of all the plants. So if you want the biggest blooms on the regular, this is your cue.
Flower Bloom size- 6-11 Inches
Flower Height- Chest to head high and rarely but sometimes overhead
Flower Colour- Beautiful deep pinks and light pinks. Sometimes vibrant, other times softer and pale

How to Plant
1.
When overnight temperatures reach 5-10C, it is time. Start by digging a hole about 3-4 inches deep.
2.
Place your Dahlia Mandrew Dahlia Tuber in the hole and dump any Pete Moss in your package into the hole with it.
3.
Cover with nice and loose soil (no need to pack it down), mark what you planted and where (so you don’t forget, silly). Sit back and wait. DO NOT water until you see a plant growing out of the dirt! Dahlia Tubers have enough juice to get them started and you run the risk of rotting them out, because they have no roots growing yet to drink with.
