Dahlia Cactus Vulcan
D4086
Description
The luxurious, large blooms of dahlia ‘Vulcan’ are an impressive sight when in full flower. The large orange-red flowerheads deliver an impactful blast of colour to garden borders, flowering all summer and autumn . Plant towards the back of a garden border where the blooms will radiate their warm tones.
‘Vulcan’ was the Roman god of fire - a name perfectly befitting this strong, sizzling dahlia.
Looks brilliant when grown next to rich red, purple and orange dahlias, of varying heights and forms.
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.
