Steve Meggos Dahlia-Like a fiery curtain call at summer’s end. A dazzling sport of the renowned Spartacus, Steve Meggos struts into the garden spotlight with grand 9" blooms in molten shades of orange and peach. Just like its famous parent, the petals gracefully fold back to the stem, giving the blooms an elegant, billowing shape—like windblown silk or a flamenco dancer mid-twirl.
Standing proudly at 4½ feet tall, this late-season showstopper lights up the garden just when everything else starts to slow. Though not a top choice for cutting, it's a breathtaking garden presence that commands attention in borders, backdrops, or bold mass plantings.
