Decorative Dahlia Hapet Blue Eyes Tubers

Dahlia

• Dahlia are upright growing, easy to grow bushy Summer flowering herbaceous perennial tubers. These half hardy impactful growing plants are popular in UK gardens because of their long flowering period, flowering from July until early November. With their vast range of colours and shapes these decorative Dahlia are loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. Dahlia are perfect for planting with other late flowering plants like Salvia and ornamental grasses.
• These low maintenance, easy to grow Summer flowering plants are perfect for growing in pots or containers but can be planted up in borders and beds. They can be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden. Dahlia tubers will provide a show all Summer and should be lifted, stored and replanted again the following year. Lifting them should take place before the first frosts, ideally mid Autumn. A light frost won’t cause too much damage but leaving it too late in the season can damage the plant.
• If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
• These tubers are on pre-order for dispatch Early February 2025.
