Description

Dahlia Stolze Von Berlin is used where a bold, welcoming pink is needed to carry planting through late summer. The blooms typically present in warm pink shades that can lean toward coral in certain light, giving a colour that reads well at distance and holds its presence in mixed borders. This dahlia is a reliable border dahlia and a strong large container variety, giving long season colour with straightforward care. It cuts well for bright bouquets, and frequent deadheading keeps buds forming into autumn. Warm pink works well alongside whites, silvers and pale grasses for a clean scheme, or paired with deeper purples and burgundy foliage for stronger contrast. Combine with nectar rich, open flowered companions to improve overall biodiversity such as collarette dahlias, echinacea or rudbeckia. Plant after frost in full sun and free draining soil improved with compost. Keep moisture steady, feed from bud stage onwards, stake if exposed, deadhead regularly, and lift tubers after the first frosts.
