Description

Dahlia Liquid Desire is ideal for customers who want intense, statement planting and long flowering from mid-summer to frost. Dahlias are one of the most rewarding summer lines for Irish gardeners, provided drainage and aftercare are right.

Plant tubers once frost risk has passed, in full sun. Improve soil with compost, and ensure excess water can drain away—especially important in heavier ground. Water to establish and keep evenly moist during active growth.

Encourage customers to pinch early shoots for branching, feed from bud stage, and deadhead consistently for continuous flowers. Support may be required in exposed sites to protect the stems and maintain an upright display.

Lift tubers for winter storage in most of Ireland; correct storage transforms customer results and reduces returns/disappointment.
