Description

I love the mix of colours of this semi-double dahlia 'Dark Butterfly', which is different from the front of the petal to the back. Classy and sophisticated with the longest vase life of any dahlia we've grown.

Similar to the outstanding 'Waltzing Matilda' and 'Jescot Julie'.

All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.

Care Tips

Support with a stout stick, tie in every couple of weeks. In the south you can mulch deeply and overwinter them in the ground, alternatively, lift and overwinter your dahlias frost free undercover.
