Description

Dahlia Take Off suits softer planting schemes where you still want clear texture. The blooms are anemone form, with lilac pink outer petals framing a ruffled centre that blends cream and pink tones, finished with a warmer touch at the heart. The open, layered structure supports pollinator use, making it a good fit for biodiversity minded summer planting. It is a strong patio container variety and a front border feature that keeps flowering with regular deadheading. It cuts neatly for softer bouquets and mixed vases. Dahlia Take Off pairs well with grasses, nepeta, salvias and pale foliage plants. Plant after frost risk in full sun and free draining soil improved with compost. Keep moisture steady, feed from bud stage onwards, deadhead regularly, and lift tubers after the first frosts for frost free storage.
