Description
Add colour, height and structure to your garden borders with this vibrant assortment of dahlias. All highly productive and suitable for cutting, the dahlias within this mix will astound you with their interesting, textured blooms in a rainbow of beautiful shades.
You can expect to pick armfuls of blooms from July until late autumn, when frost signals dormancy to the underground tubers. Dahlias are inexhaustible – keep on cutting and deadheading the flowers for a constant flow of blooms.
Suitable for cutting gardens, traditional garden borders and large containers.
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.
