Description

Dahlia Bora Bora brings a bright, tropical palette that suits high energy summer planting. The blooms typically combine strong red petals with bright yellow centre or petal base, giving a lively two tone effect that views well even from a distance. Irish horticulturists use this kind of colour for high visibility beds, retail displays and summer promotions where impact matters. In private gardens it works well in large patio containers and front borders where the colour can be enjoyed daily. It cuts well for bright bouquets, and regular cutting or deadheading keeps the plant flowering into autumn. Pair it with whites and pale grasses to keep the scheme clean, or echo the warmth with whites and yellows for a full hot palette. Plant after frost risk in full sun and fertile, free draining soil improved with compost. Keep moisture steady, stake if exposed, feed from bud stage onwards and deadhead regularly. Lift and store tubers frost free after the first frosts.
