Description

Dahlias Rose is aimed at customers buying for themselves or as a gift, where presentation matters and the plant must perform. Dahlias are proven for this role because they flower continuously with simple care, extending colour well beyond the spring bulb season.

This gift item is suitable for planting in borders for mid to late summer colour, and it also performs well in large patio pots, which is often how Irish customers use summer lines. The blooms suit casual cutting, and the plant responds by producing more buds when regularly deadheaded. In mixed planting, pair with salvias, echinacea and ornamental grasses for a long season border that keeps structure and colour.

Plant tubers after the last frosts, in full sun and free draining soil improved with compost. Water well at planting, then keep evenly moist during growth. Feed from bud stage for best flowering and remove spent blooms to keep plants productive. Lift and store tubers frost free after autumn frosts for reliable return performance.
