'Bumble Rumble' is a cultivar of dahlia (Dahlia, family Asteraceae), a tuberous tender perennial grown for its showy, long-blooming flowers from midsummer to first frost. Like all dahlias it thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soil and is propagated from tubers or cuttings. Lift and store tubers over winter in cold climates.
