Description
The 'Alyshia' anemone-flowered Dahlia offers a flower of a beautiful colour located between red and old pink. Of medium stature, it produces an abundance of flowers in variable-shaped heads, composed of a more or less double collar of old pink petals, surmounted by a frizzy-looking heart, barely a little redder, more or less developed. These somewhat whimsical flowers have a lot of charm in floral compositions.
Dahlias are tuberous plants of the large Asteraceae family, originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. At present, the thousands of horticultural varieties obtained by man have invaded, to our great pleasure, gardens all over the world. Dahlias are classified according to the shape of their flower. 'Alyshia' is classified in the category of decorative Dahlias with anemone flowers. In this group, the coloured ligules of the head are arranged in pompoms in the centre and surrounded by a wider collar of ligules. In this variety, the heads are 10cm (4in) in diameter and the outer ligules are almost flat, arranged in a semi-double to double collar. Those in the centre are shorter, tubular, and fringed, tightly packed together like a cushion. This heart is more or less developed depending on the heads, some resembling classic decorative dahlias. Flowering takes place from July to October. The plant reaches a height of 80cm (32in) to 1m (3ft), with a bushy and dense habit. The highly branched stems are hollow and the leaves are divided into 3 or 5 leaflets, which are toothed. The leaves are quite dark green, while the stems are more or less purplish.
To encourage repeat flowering and extend the flowering period, take care to remove faded flowers. Even better, regularly compose attractive colourful bouquets by combining various varieties. The richly coloured flowering of this 'Alyshia' variety is enhanced by the foliage and delicate spikes of grasses (Briza media, Panicum, Molinia, Calamagrostis), to emphasize the contrast between the delicacy of tall grasses and the more refined character of its flower. The flowering of Amaranthus, Agastaches, and Echinaceas is perfect in accompaniment to the Dahlias, as they bloom simultaneously, as well as Cosmos or perennial salvias, for example.
As the star plant of healing gardens, Dahlias are undoubtedly beautiful flowers. Impeccable in flower beds, they can also adorn the vegetable garden. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was first cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. Its poor taste qualities quickly assigned it the rank of an ornamental plant.

Planting and care
The 'Alyshia' anemone Dahlia is easy to grow in all regions. For abundant flowering, it is good to follow a few simple rules, plant the tubers in a sunny location as soon as the last frosts occur, rich, fresh and well-drained soils are perfect. However, stagnant moisture would promote tuber rot. Feel free to amend the soil with compost and sand if necessary. Work the soil deeply and enrich it, for example, with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. Place your tuber and fill the soil without any air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, water once abundantly and then regularly renew this watering during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts blacken the foliage, it is time to dig them up. Carefully remove the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry, so that the tubers can replenish their reserves. Then cut the stems to 10cm (4in). Spread your bulbs in a crate on a newspaper. Store them in a frost-free, dry, cool and dark place, such as a garage or an attic. In the southern regions, close to the coast, where there are only a few days of frost per year, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, simply cover the ground with a layer of leaves or straw as protection.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
