Four months of fabulous flowers from July right through to October. Dahlia ‘Lemon Sherbet’ is sure to be noticed whether planted in strategic container or filling an herbaceous border. This exciting new variety for 2024 brings you semi-double blooms in citrus hues held over bushy, dark green foliage which emerges in April and grows to fill gaps until the first frosts. Stems are long and strong – ideal for a vase or bouquet as well as your garden. Dahlia ‘Lemon Sherbet’ is one of the ‘collarette dahlias’ – similar to anemone dahlias in appearance, each flower has a twirly ring of central petals to create a generous central collar of smaller petals. This is crowned by a pollen and nectar rich golden heart – acting as a beacon to local pollinators. Plants mature to a height of 90cm with a generous spread of up to 60cm. Prefers a spot with moist, well-drained soil of any kind except chalk based. Position in full sun, preferably with a south or west facing aspect. A half-hardy, tuber
