Description
Vivid purple blooms form flawless globes, creating joyful contrast against lush green foliage. Pompom Dahlia 'Purple Fox' with its beautifully intense colour creates energy to garden beds, while adding playful yet elegant touches.
Ideal for arrangements, pompom dahlia 'Purple Fox' captivates the eye, bringing character and brightness to shaded and sunny nooks. It stands proudly at 90 cm and flowers from mid summer to autumn.
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.
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.

Red King
M6276
With majestic arches of resplendent scarlet blooms, Crocosmia ‘Red King’ radiates warmth to invigorate your garden in high summer and autumn.
Dangling above vertical, sword-like leaves, the nodding stems are covered with rows of bullet-shaped buds which open into an abundance of fine, freesia-like flowers. For further interest later in the season, the petals give way to attractive seedpods, providing a valuable food source for garden birds.
The tall, wiry stems animate borders and large container displays with height, movement, and dazzling colour. Crocosmia ‘Red King’ is equally impressive as a cut flower – the fiery blooms can last up to two weeks in a vase.

Sphaerocephalon
P5018
Egg-shaped blooms bob in the summer breeze on eye-catching Allium ‘Sphaerocephalon’.
The compact ‘drumstick’ flowerheads rise up from the soil in late spring, enlarging in size until stems reach a final height of around 60cm tall. A fascinating transformation of colour takes place as the blooms mature, changing from bluish green to two-toned purple-crimson and green in a striking ombre effect. By the end of the flowering season in late summer, the maroon flowers have loosened up and are humming with bees.
Known as the round-headed leek, Allium ‘Sphaerocephalon’ is a popular, reliable variety which holds an Award of Garden Merit from the RHS.
Fabulous in gravel gardens, structured contemporary schemes and traditional borders.
Top size bulbs by de Jager in 9 cm pots, ready to be sent out in early February.
