Debora Renae: Plant Profile and Care

Debora Renae — Dahlia 'Debora Renae'. Swan Island describes black-red flowers around 5 inches across on a 4½-foot plant, with notably long cutting stems.

Light and placement

Swan Island recommends a full-sun location with 6–8 hours of direct sunlight for dahlias.

Water and growing medium

Review the grower’s linked cultivation guidance when planning soil preparation and watering. A cultivar description does not establish a fixed watering interval for every garden.

An arranging exercise

Try using a dark bloom to create depth among lighter flowers. Compare two positions before shortening the stem so the final focal placement guides the cut.

Choosing the plant for your space

Compare the identity on your plant label with the botanical name above. A pot diameter identifies the container offered for sale; it does not establish the plant’s mature size or a named cultivar. Before choosing a permanent place, consider the light there, the available room and how you will check the growing medium. The source links below provide further botanical context.
