Description

Decorative Dahlia Akita is a rewarding summer flower that gives pleasure for months, blooming all summer from July until the first frost. Growing up to 100cm high, this red and yellow flower tipped in white, is a sight to behold. Combine Decorative Dahlia Akita with perennials and other Dahlia varieties such as Meteorite or Rosella. Dahlias are popular as they are excellent cut flowers with a long vase life. Plant dahlia tubers in a sunny spot in the spring. Dahlias are sensitive to frost, so be careful and don’t plant too early. Dig a spacious planting hole, loosen the soil and fill the hole with good potting soil. Carefully place the tubers in the hole and cover with 3-5 cm. soil with a planting distance of 30-60 cm and water immediately. Store tubers in a frost-free place after flowering and they can be enjoyed for years.
