Description

Dahlia Kameleon is the sort of variety that sells itself on name and performance—customers love anything that brings variety and “something different” to a summer display. In practice, colour shifts are influenced by temperature and light, so results can vary, which is part of the appeal.

Grow in full sun in fertile, free-draining soil. Plant after frost, water in, and maintain steady moisture without saturating the ground. Regular deadheading is the key to continuous flowering—left to set seed, dahlias slow down.

For best shape and flower count, pinch the first growth tips and keep feeding through the season once buds start forming. Taller stems appreciate support in windy sites.
Overwintering guidance is important for Ireland: lift after the first frosts, dry and store frost-free for replanting next year.
