Description

Dahlia Bluesette is chosen for compact growth and a tidy, decorative flower form that suits both smaller gardens and large scale planting where uniformity matters. The blooms are smaller than many dahlias, opening in soft lilac pink with a subtle darker gradient toward the centre, giving gentle colour detail without looking busy. This makes it useful for Irish schemes where you want a refined, customer friendly palette and a plant that stays neat at the front of borders. For landscapers and horticulturists, Bluesette works well in repeated blocks along paths, edging lines and lower beds, or used in container programmes where even height and consistent flowering are key. The compact habit reduces staking needs in sheltered sites and helps keep displays looking tidy through late summer.  Bluesette performs reliably in cool inland sites, adapting well once established and tolerating the cooler, wetter spells typical of the Irish climate.  Pollinators such as hoverflies are frequently drawn to this variety, enhancing biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems throughout the growing season. Best planted in fertile, free-draining soil with good sun exposure, it also benefits from shelter from strong Atlantic winds.
