Formal Decorative ยท 4โ6"Dark Blend
Cut a stem of Bacardi and the room leans in. Muddy rose petals darken toward a deep raspberry center, and dark stems carry that moody shift all the way to the vase. It is the rare cutting dahlia that photographs muted and arrangements run with.

Growing Bacardi
Plant in full sun and give each plant plenty of room to breathe. Pinch the center shoot once the plant reaches knee height to encourage more branching and stems. Stake at planting before the roots take hold. Harvest when blooms are about three-quarters open, checking that the back petals are still firm and full rather than papery.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2โ3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early โ stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
