Overview

Bright, long-lasting blooms bringing long-lasting impact to the summer garden. This anemone-flowered dahlia produces purple buds that open into daisy-like flowers with a rich pink centre, before maturing into an intense lilac-pink. Look closely and you’ll see a subtle white edging on the packed inner petals that adds extra detail and depth.

Flowers measure up to 10cm (4in) across and appear reliably from mid-summer right through to the first frosts. Plants form bushy clumps with dark green, serrated foliage, and reach about 1m (3ft) in height at maturity. Dahlia ‘Richards Fortune’ is well-suited to sunny borders or large, deep containers, where it adds strong colour and structure.

This cultivated variety is also excellent as a cut flower, with striking blooms that hold well in arrangements.

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.
