Description

Dahlia Fringed Star is selected for its standout flower form—ideal for customers drawn to unusual textures and designer looks in the border. It also performs well as a cut flower, adding structure and interest to arrangements.

Plant after frosts in a sunny spot with fertile, free-draining soil. Water to establish, then keep moisture steady during active growth. In pots, use a quality compost and don’t let containers dry out completely in warm spells.

For maximum flowering, advise regular deadheading and feeding from bud stage. Pinching early tips can improve shape and stem count. If the site is windy, a simple support prevents damage and keeps the plant looking tidy on the bench and in the garden.

Lift and store tubers for winter in most Irish gardens—this is often the difference between a one-season trial and a repeat customer next year.
