Yellow & Maroon Dahlia Mix
D5009
Description
A ruffled pairing of cactus dahlias, ideal for cutting and adding colour and voluminous texture to arrangements.
This striking mix contains two contrasting, glamorous dahlias, canary-yellow and the dark-maroon. Both dahlias feature a ruffled mass of long, quilled petals which gives a spiky appearance, hence the classification name ‘cactus dahlias’.
Dahlias are excellent for cutting, and the more you cut the blooms, the more flowers will be produced.
Plant these tall varieties towards the back or middle of a garden border for an impactful look.
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.
