Product information
Smaller than some dahlias, but no less impressive with masses of burnt orange blooms contrasting with deep bronze foliage
- Planting location: Beds, borders or in patio pots
- Flowering period: July - October, Planting period: May - June
- Plant in a sunny spot. Dig soil improver and bonemeal into the planting hole before planting. In heavy clay soils add horticultural grit to the bottom of the planting hole. Do not attempt to plant these bulbs if the ground is frozen or during freezing conditions. Remove faded flowers to prolong flowering. Water well during dry spells. When foliage has died back, usually after the first frost, cut stems back to 5cm above soil level. Not winter hardy. To over-winter, dig up the tubers and store them in a cool, dry and frost-free place. Replant in the same way next year.
