Description

Our ‘Yellow and Mauve Dahlia Mix’ is an unusual, eye-catching combination, reminiscent of rhubarb and custard sweets. Just as the mouth-watering confectionary combines the tartness of rhubarb with a smooth custard flavour, this duo of dahlias offers the soft sweetness of pink-purple blooms, alongside the lively brightness of yellow. The two colours are exactly opposite on the colour wheel, resulting in a high contrast pairing which make each colour appear more vivid. This fruity assortment will flower from July to October, providing a cheerful display throughout the summer and autumn months. The decorative blooms also make outstanding cut flowers, bringing instant joy to any room.

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.
