Starting at £6.99

 

The Dahlia ‘Dazzling Sun’ is a striking decorative to semi-cactus dahlia, prized for its large, sunburst-style blooms. Each flower features elongated golden-yellow petals that are crisply edged in red, with rich red bases anchoring the petals.

Bloom Type: Decorative to semi-cactus, typically reaching up to about 20 cm (8 inches) across (often described as a “dinner plate” size).

Coloration: Golden yellow petals with vibrant red edging, creating a warm, sunlit glow.

Height & Spread: Reaches roughly 0.5 to 1 meter (about 3 feet) in height and spread.

Flowering Period: Blooms from midsummer (July) through the first frosts (October).

Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun to bring out the strongest colour.

Hardiness: A half-hardy perennial, so tubers should be lifted and stored overwinter in colder climates to protect them from frost.

Uses: Ideal for adding a dramatic, tropical feel to garden borders and also makes a long-lasting cut flower for indoor arrangements

Useful Information

Growing Tips:

  • Light Requirements: Dahlias  thrive in full sun, so choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
  • Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil is essential. Adding organic matter can improve soil quality and provide the nutrients needed for healthy growth.
  • Watering: Regular watering is important, especially during dry spells, to keep the foliage lush and the flowers blooming beautifully.

Planting Tips:

When planting Dahlia tubers, consider the following:

  1. Timing: Plant tubers in spring after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed up.
  2. Depth: Plant the tubers about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) deep, with the eyes facing up.
  3. Spacing: Space the tubers about 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) apart to allow for their growth and spread.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Fertilisation: Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
  • Staking: Taller varieties may require staking to support the heavy blooms and prevent them from toppling over.
  • Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.

Incorporating Dahlias into your garden will not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also provide a stunning display of colour and texture throughout the summer and into the  Autumn. With its vibrant flowers and unique foliage, this dahlia is sure to be a cherished addition to your landscape!
