Soft orange petals blend into a yellow centre, echoing the warmth of a summer sunset. Dinner Plate Dahlia 'Ace Summer Sunset' fills garden beds with gentle radiance. Fully double, decorative style with slightly incurved petals, Dahlia 'Ace Summer Sunset' blooms measure at least 20 cm and the overall plant height is 100 cm.
Ideal for the back of borders, feature plantings or bold container displays. Strong stems support the heavy blooms, allowing them to stand tall. Flowering from July to September.
de Jager's top size, top quality dahlia tubers are supplied polythene bags, in which they may be safely kept until planting time, stored in a cool place.
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.
