Description

Dahlia Stolze Von Berlin is used where a bold, welcoming pink is needed to carry planting through late summer. The blooms typically present in warm pink shades that can lean toward coral in certain light, giving a colour that reads well at distance and holds its presence in mixed borders. When planting larger areas, it performs best in repeated blocks or drifts to create a consistent colour rhythm across long borders, entrance beds and public display planting. The warm layered petals and soft pink shade works well alongside whites, silvers and pale grasses for a clean scheme, or paired with deeper purples and burgundy foliage for stronger contrast. For strong pollinator attraction, combine with nectar rich, open flowered companions to improve overall biodiversity such as collarette dahlias, rudbeckia or echinacea. It performs reliably in sheltered urban gardens, adapting well once established and tolerating the cooler, wetter spells typical of the Irish climate. Best planted in fertile, free-draining soil with good sun exposure, it benefits from shelter from strong Atlantic winds.
