Care guide

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.

Planting requirements

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.

Features

  • In each collection you will receive one tuber of each of the following:
  • Dahlia 'Cornel Brons':
  • Producing beautifully formed, perfectly round, pom-pom blooms of dusky orange, 'Cornel Brons' is superb in both the garden or vase. This dahlia would work wonderfully well with the loose flowering habit of Dahlia
  • ‘David Howard’ and the deep red foliage of Physocarpus opulifolius
  • 'Diabolo'. Grows to 90cm.
  • Dahlia 'Ivanetti':
  • The perfectly formed, ball-shaped blooms of this dahlia make excellent cut flowers, as well as cutting a dash in the late summer garden. 'Ivanetti' has plum-purple petals that look like they have been cut from velvet and have a lighter underside that gives them a smokey hue. Grows to 1.2m.
