Cactus dahlias are the darlings of exhibition growers, with large exotic blossoms that look like they are difficult to produce, yet nothing could be further from the truth. Dahlias are nearly carefree (maybe a little staking if you must) and with few pests or diseases to trouble them, dahlias are effortless plants that make even beginner gardeners look like seasoned professionals. Yellow Star produces flowers well into fall, often right up to first frost. They're long lived in arrangements, too, lasting 7-10 days reliably. Easy-to-grow dahlias are not bothered by deer, rabbits or other garden pests. Dahlia decorative 'Yellow Star'
