Description

Decorative Dahlia 'Spartacus' is a true garden titan, unfurling massive blooms in a commanding shade of deep crimson-red. Each petal is slightly ruffled, like velvet caught in a gentle breeze. 

Standing at between 100 cm to 120 cm tall, decorative dahlia 'Spartacus' makes a bold statement in borders. Throughout the season, it produces bloom after bloom, a showstopping masterpiece.

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.
