Description
A must-have plant for the autumn garden, gleaming dahlia ‘Orange Nugget’ blooms in profusion over several months. Sporting perfectly-formed, pumpkin-orange flowers on contrasting dark stems, this wonderful dahlia is perfect for embellishing the front of garden borders with colour.
This brilliant dahlia is also well suited to containers as it has a compact habit and a long bloom period.
The rich colours look wonderful combined with deep maroon shades, purple jewel tones and verdant green foliage in the garden.
Care Guide
To grow Dahlias, select a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and dig a 30cm deep hole. Plant the tuber 10cm below the soil surface, spacing multiple tubers 45cm apart, or 90cm for taller varieties. Water consistently, maintaining moist but not saturated soil and protect new shoots from slug damage with eco-friendly methods. Feed plants during the blooming period with liquid plant food. Provide support for stems which will reach 60-90cm tall depending on variety. Enjoy spectacular blooms from late summer until first frosts. Cut or deadhead the flowers regularly for a continually flourishing display. Once blooming has finished, cut back foliage before lifting, drying and storing the tubers in peat-free substitute, in a frost-free place until the following spring.
