Gitt's Crazy
ADS: 7013, ST, DB
Height: 5-7’
Bloom: 5-7”, Stellar
Notes: Gitt’s Crazy is a very tall, strong, sturdy plant with large, upright, stellar shaped blooms. Its elongated petals are mustard coloured on top and cherry red underneath. It is a bit crazy how big and beautiful this plant is. Blooms are fantastic in large scale floral design, where they will always be the focal flower. In garden beds, be sure to plant it toward the back - even then, it won’t go unnoticed. This flower looks particularly stunning when paired with Juul’s Allstar, Boom Boom Orange, and Cerise. Introduced in 2012 by Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon, Gitt’s Crazy is an exhibition show dahlia of note, winning 18 awards at Dahlia Society shows across North America in 2022, earning it recognition on the ‘Cream of the Crop’ list.

For best results, grow your dahlias in a sunny spot, with fertile, well-drained soil. Stake flowers for support and deadhead/ harvest blooms regularly. This will encourage the plant to keep producing flowers. Lift tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place where they won’t freeze. In March, they can be potted up and kept in a temperate greenhouse before planting out, or tubers can be planted directly into the garden after the risk of frost has passed. We plant directly into prepared beds, with a handful of organic fertilizer into each hole. Once planted, the tubers do not need water until shoots have emerged from the soil, as it can cause them to rot. Once they get growing, they will need regular watering, approximately every three days or more if the weather is hot.
