Description
This balanced mix of single-flowered dahlias will bloom in a stunning range of gemstone colours, all at varying heights. Excellent for adding warmth and bursts of long-lasting colour to borders and containers, the pollinator-friendly blooms will flower from midsummer up until the first hard frost.
Dahlias bloom prolifically and by deadheading the spent flowers, you will ensure a constant stream of daisy-shaped blooms. Perhaps cut a few stems to enjoy inside the home.
The gold-flecked, pollen-rich centres are a haven for bees and butterflies who will flock to feast on their nectar.
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.
