This dahlia has performed wonderfully well in zone 7a in Tennessee. Spectacular dinnerplate size blooms offer an ever-changing coloration from darker to lighter tones and shades. The plant has been pest and disease free. A heavy bloomer, it begins blooming in late summer and continues until frost.
Excuse me, but the pictures you have posted here as 'Akita' are actually 'Akita No Hikari'. Could you please move them acordingly so not to cause confusion.
