Description

Dahlia Preference stands out for its open-faced blooms and deep saturated pigments, giving it a distinctive visual presence in Irish gardens. and is grown for large, showy flowers in a warm pink palette that can lean rose pink with coral warmth depending on light and stage. Irish horticulturists use this shade to build late summer borders that feel welcoming and customer friendly, particularly in public facing beds and container programmes where colour needs to stay consistent through August and September. It works well as a feature plant or planted in small groups to create a readable block of colour. It suits large patio containers where watering and feeding can be managed easily. For cutting gardens it provides strong stems for bouquets, and regular cutting or deadheading keeps new buds forming into autumn. Pair it with whites and creams for a softer look, or add contrast with purples, burgundy foliage and ornamental grasses. It performs reliably in mild coastal areas, adapting well once established and tolerating the cooler, wetter spells typical of the Irish climate.
