Description

Seedlings Dahlias – Collarette Mix offers a natural pollinator-friendly selection of open-centred dahlias with a ring of larger outer petals and a contrasting inner collar of smaller petals around a visible yellow pollen centre. Expect bi-colours, singles, blends of pinks, reds, yellows, whites, purples and patterned types — no two plants the same, making this mix attractive to gardeners wanting movement, colour energy and meaningful biodiversity impact. Because collarette forms give easy access to nectar and pollen, this mix is excellent for wildlife gardens, school pollinator projects, community beds, herbaceous borders, cottage gardens and meadow-inspired planting. They perform reliably from July to frost, offering sustained forage for bees and butterflies well into autumn. Works beautifully with grasses, Cosmos, Achillea, Scabiosa, Salvia and Rudbeckia. Plant in full sun, enriched Irish soil with good drainage, feed regularly to keep blooms cycling. Great for front-of-border colour, patio containers, public schemes and cut-flower use, producing charming stems for vase arrangements.
