They perform equally well in the garden, striking a pose in the middle of borders in a symphony of colour that lasts until the first frosts.
Each of our dahlia collections is a work of art, comprising a harmonious selection of colours and tones which is guaranteed to produce magnificent results for garden borders and indoor arrangements.
Dahlia Pink & White Duo contains the following varieties:
- Dahlia 'Creme de Cassis' Flowering from June to the first frosts, this addition to our range of dahlias is a real stand-out specimen which will create a truly unusual splash of colour in borders and containers. The densely packed petals are a very pale pink when viewed from above, but their undersides are a rich ‘crème de cassis’ colour - hence the name. Looking almost like a water lily, Dahlia ‘Crème de Cassis’ makes a fabulous cut flower, so try putting some in a vase or giving a bunch to a friend? Height: 90cm (35"). Spread: 45cm (18").
- Dahlia 'Mambo' - Perfect for adding an exotic feel to the garden! Dahlia ‘Mambo’ is an anemone type with a big impact in borders, beds and patio pots. Fabulous, mauve-pink, double blooms with gold-tipped petals are borne on neat, bushy plants throughout summer. If you can spare a few, they make wonderful cut flowers for a vase indoors. Lift the tubers in autumn to save them for a repeat display the following year. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 45cm (18").
Growing Information
Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6") and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.
