Description

Huge pink-purple saucer flowers, which provide excellent landing pads for garden butterflies. Like a great, graceful butterfly itself, this was frequently visited by these pollinators in our trial.

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.
