Overview

Delicate pastel flowers, evoking memories of tutti fruity sweets! From midsummer through autumn's first frost, the compact plants bloom profusely, unfurling shades of lemon, apricot and peach, sometimes blushed with pink.

The petite pom-poms make charming floral arrangements, whether gathered by the bunch or spotlighted in a bridal bouquet. Though demure in scale, Dahlia ‘Mondriaan’ carries an abundance of blooms atop sturdy stems - ideal for cutting, but planted en masse in a border, their soft colouration creates a striking contrast against brighter, blue and purple themed companions.

  • Soil: Moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, or peat-free general purpose compost

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 (5in) 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 over-crowded.

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.
