Description

Throughout summer and autumn, dahlia ‘Topmix Red’ will bear masses of cardinal red blooms atop strong burgundy stems.

Attractive to butterflies and bees, the single daisy-shaped flowers are a perfect choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.

Topmix dahlias have a neat and compact growth habit, reaching a maximum height and spread of 50cm, which makes them an excellent choice for eye-catching pots.

Pick stems to enjoy inside your home in floral displays, and deadhead regularly for a constant stream of crimson flowers.

Care Guide

To grow Dahlias, select a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and dig a 30cm deep hole. Plant the tuber 10cm below the soil surface, spacing multiple tubers 45cm apart, or 90cm for taller varieties. Water consistently, maintaining moist but not saturated soil and protect new shoots from slug damage with eco-friendly methods. Feed plants during the blooming period with liquid plant food. Provide support for stems which will reach 60-90cm tall depending on variety. Enjoy spectacular blooms from late summer until first frosts. Cut or deadhead the flowers regularly for a continually flourishing display. Once blooming has finished, cut back foliage before lifting, drying and storing the tubers in peat-free substitute, in a frost-free place until the following spring.
