Dahlia Gallery 'Blood Red' | 3L Pot
A low growing Dahlia sporting rounded scarlet blooms...
Noted for their large spherical blooms and easy to grow nature, Dahlias are quite understandably a favourite of many gardeners.
What makes this variety particularly special is that it belongs to the 'Gallery' series, and as such, benefits from a low growing habit, and a longer flowering period too. For the best use of this Dahlia, plant in rows at the front of a border, or in a pot to garnish your patio space with the deep scarlet tones.
Planting Tip
Deadhead to prolong the flowering period...Please see our below guidance on your perennial or alpine's care:
Watering: During your perennial or alpine's first growing season, you should provide them with frequent waterings. Try to also avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of disease.
Deadheading: To promote a long flowering period, you should deadhead any flowers that appear spent. Simply rescind each flower at their base, taking care to not cut other parts of the plant.
Dividing: To really flourish, your perennials can be divided every three to four years. They can be divided when they begin to show less flowers, or appear less healthy in the middle. Make sure to only do so when they aren't currently flowering.
Please note: Herbaceous perennials can die back in winter, so don't be alarmed if this happens and instead look forward to spring!
