Decorative Dahlia Glorie van Heemstede Flower bulb

Product information

Dahlias are one of the best choices for summer colour, with beautiful blooms that keep flowering for long lasting summer colour. Use them in beds, borders or large containers. They can also be used to create stunning cut flower displays.

• Planting location: Beds, borders or in patio pots
• Soil moisture: Moist & well drained, Soil pH: Any
• 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.
