Description

Dahlia Totally Tangerine is built for warm impact with a lighter, more textured bloom than dense double dahlias. The anemone flower form gives an outer ring of petals and a raised centre, creating a lively silhouette that keeps borders looking animated through late summer. Colour sits in orange, peach and salmon tones, often with a contrasting centre that adds depth. The open centre makes it pollinator friendly and useful in wildlife aware schemes, particularly later in the season when you want reliable forage. It is ideal in sunny borders and patio pots and gives bold stems for bright arrangements. Use it near seating areas if you want to see pollinators working the flowers. Plant after frost risk in full sun and free draining soil improved with compost. Keep moisture steady, feed from bud stage onwards, deadhead regularly for continuous flowering, then lift and store tubers after the first frosts.
