A vibrant Cactus dahlia that ensures a touch of sunshine in the garden even on a cloudy day! The large spiked flowers sit proudly on top of lush green foliage, for an unmissable display in sunny borders and large patio containers. These easy to grow dahlia plants bloom over a very long flowering season – perfect for adding autumn colour to the garden. The tubers can be lifted after the first hard frost of autumn and replanted the following spring for bigger, better displays each and every year. Height: 100cm (39″). Spread: 50cm (20″).
Growing Information
Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6″) and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.
