Dahlia Cactus Hollyhill Spiderwoman
D4149
Description
The explosive blooms of dahlia ‘Hollyhill Spiderwoman’ are breath-taking. A textural, spidery mass of carmine, purple and ivory winding petals make up each magnificent flowerhead.
Flowering from July onwards, this dahlia will bloom in abundance. Pick the plentiful stems to enjoy indoors, adding the flowers to bouquets and arrangements, or displaying their intricate beauty in single bud vases.
We love this dahlia growing next to decorative dahlia ‘Evanah’, which resembles a soft-pink waterlily, and the bold magenta anemone-flowering dahlia ‘Richards Fortune’.
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.
