Description
This Anemone-flowered Dahlia offers flowers with a diameter of 8 cm, in a very bright red color, composed of wide and flat outer ligules, as well as a collar of small tubular inner ligules gathered in a honeycomb pattern. It blooms for a long time, from summer to autumn, above a very abundant green foliage. Its very compact growth does not require any staking and makes it an ideal variety for pot cultivation. H40cm Sp40cmAnemone Dahlias (a.k.a. Powder Puff Dahlias) feature one or more layers of petals surrounding a cluster of small florets that form a pincushion-like centre. Flowers are solid or bicolour and come in a range of colours from deep burgundies and oranges to bright yellows and whites. These dahlia blooms tend to be smaller than other types and are good for borders and containers. Most varieties grow between 100 and 120 cm tall
Dahlias thrive in full sun to part shade and are ideal for pots and containers. They need around six hours of sun daily, with morning sun being ideal. They typically bloom 3-4 months after planting and can flower for months with regular deadheading. These plants are excellent for gardens, featuring long flowering periods, lush foliage, and a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. Dahlia flowers are great for cutting and last well in vases. Cutting flowers in the morning and taking at least two leaves per stem encourages more blooms and bushy growth. Plant your dahlias in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil, and mix in well-rotted manure before planting. Plant tubers about 10 cm deep and stake tall varieties during planting to avoid root disturbance. Ensure good air circulation between plants. Dahlia tubers don't need to be lifted if the soil is well-drained and doesn't freeze. However, they should be dug up and divided every few years to maintain optimal flowering.
