Description
What could be more cheerful than these pink saucer flowers with their luscious crimson and gold heart, almost perpetually covered in Red Admiral and Peacock Butterflies.
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.
