Description

Dahlia Fascination in prepack form is a straightforward way to add high impact colour with genuine pollinator benefit. This is a Bishop type dahlia with dark bronzed foliage that looks good from the moment growth appears. Flowers are single and open in a vivid cerise pink, finished with a bright golden centre that stays visible and accessible. That open centre is the reason it performs well for biodiversity, bringing bees into the garden at a time of year when dependable forage matters.

In Irish home gardens, it is best used in sunny border positions, mixed cottage style planting or as a feature in a large pot near the patio. The dark foliage gives the plant a richer look than standard green leaved dahlias, and it helps the pink flowers stand out even on dull days. If you want a more designed look, repeat it in a small group rather than as a one off.

Plant after frost risk has passed in full sun and free draining soil. Keep watering even, feed once buds form, and deadhead regularly to keep flowering moving. Lift and store tubers frost free after the first frosts for next season. Supplied as single tuber packs in outers of 5 for retail.
