{"product_id":"dahlia-rip-city","title":"Dahlia Rip City","description":"\u003cp\u003eDahlia 'Rip City' is a dramatic, upright tuberous perennial reaching about 1-1.5 m high. Strong green stems rise through dark green divided foliage and carry fully double semi-cactus flowerheads, typically 10-15 cm across. Long, narrow, pointed, slightly wavy florets deepen from burgundy-red to reddish-black around an almost black center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained clay, loam, or sand. Choose a sheltered site, pinch young shoots to encourage branching, stake early, water during dry periods, and deadhead often. The sturdy stems and dark flowers are excellent for borders and cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn USDA zones 8-10, tubers may overwinter in reliably drained ground. In colder climates, lift them after frost, dry briefly, and store cool, dark, dry, and frost-free. Divide tubers or take spring softwood cuttings. Keep plant material away from pets because dahlias may be toxic if eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnswallow Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798441029683,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/4284\/2675\/files\/e7294e2d8c2d_1050.jpg?v=1788110746","url":"https:\/\/barnswallowflowers.com\/products\/dahlia-rip-city","provider":"Barnswallow Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
