Overview

Simple, yet showy, this collarette dahlia was first introduced in 1955 - and it is still sought after today. Each flower is a unique mix of pinkish red and creamy white, and its open centre means that bees (and other pollinators) can easily access the nectar-rich disc florets. It looks great when woven through a naturalistic planting scheme - and when potted up, it will also help liven up the patio.

Care guide

Dahlia tubers can be planted outside after frost, or started off in pots under glass in late winter to early spring. Plant them horizontally approximately 12cm deep, making sure the 'eyes' are uppermost. Allow enough room between each tuber so the plants can grow and spread to their full size without being overcrowded. While in growth, provide a high-nitrogen liquid feed each week in June, then a high-potash fertiliser each week from July to September. Stake with canes or brushwood if it becomes necessary. In mild areas, leave them in situ over winter, but protect the crown with a generous layer of dry mulch. In colder areas, carefully lift and clean the tubers once the first frosts have blackened the foliage and allow them to dry naturally indoors. Then place the dry tubers in a shallow tray, just covered with slightly moist potting compost, sand or vermiculite and store in a frost-free place until planting out again.
