Dahlia Mignon Mix seeds

The 'Mignon Mix' single Dwarf Dahlia is a blend of vividly coloured and simply beautiful Garden Dahlias. It forms low clumps that bloom with bright yellow, red, orange, medium pink, and white flowers. Planted en masse, they find a place in all gardens, even the smallest ones, in borders, flower beds and on terraces or balconies. The stout and vigorous plant produces numerous flowers from June until the frosts.

Dahlias, from the aster family, are originally native to the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, the approximately 20,000 horticultural varieties created by humans can be found in gardens worldwide. 
The 'Mignon Mix' variety is a dwarf Dahlia derived from Dahlia variabilis. The plant will not exceed 45 cm in all directions, it has a bushy and compact habit, not requiring staking. The flowering period of this variety is from June to October. The heads measure 5 cm in diameter, resembling lovely simple corollas, composed of a row of well-opened petals, in various vivid colours. The central disc is yellow. The very branched stems are hollow, and the leaves are opposite and divided into 3 or 5 very toothed lobes. The leaves and stems are dark green.

To encourage flowering and extend the blooming period, make sure to remove faded flowers. Even better, regularly cut them to create charming colourful bouquets by combining various varieties.

The Dahlias from the 'Mignon Mix' selection create beautiful splashes of colour at the edge of borders, harmonising with Coneflowers, Sneezeweeds, and Cosmos, for example. Pair them with a Pennisetum villosum, a feathery-looking grass, to add a touch of softness to the setting. This variety is also perfect for container growing, ideal for enhancing terraces and balconies.

A star plant for borders and cottage gardens, Dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers as well as the humble ones from the vegetable garden. They create beautiful flowering pots or charming bouquets. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste qualities relegated it to the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.
