Description

Dahlia Wishes N Dreams combines strong retail appeal with biodiversity value. It is a dwarf bedding type with dark foliage and single flowers, so the open centre remains accessible to pollinators. Flowers show rose pink shades that soften toward the edge, with deeper red colouring nearer the centre, giving depth without looking harsh.  The dark foliage gives contrast in large schemes and helps the pink tones read clearly at distance. It is a straightforward patio pot dahlia and front border variety, flowering for a long season with regular deadheading and feeding.  Plant after frost risk in sun and fertile, well drained soil. Keep moisture steady, deadhead regularly, lift tubers after the first frosts for storage.
