Description
Like all plants in the Impression series, the Dahlia' Impression Famoso' Collarette offers very compact and highly floriferous dahlias. In a harmony of soft shades, they display a crown of flat, light pink petals surrounding a collarette of small white-cream petals around a yellow centre. The delicate flowers of 'Famoso' are not very large but are produced abundantly by weather-resistant plants. This variety looks stunning planted in pots for terrace or balcony decoration.
Dahlias belong to the Asteraceae family and are initially from the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, the approximately 25,000 horticultural varieties obtained by humans have invaded, to our greatest pleasure, gardens worldwide.
The 'Impression Famoso Collarette' variety is a dwarf dahlia, as it will not exceed 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) in all directions. It is also classified as a collarette dahlia, a horticultural category defined by the shape of the flower. In this group, the coloured ligules of the head are regularly arranged in a crown around a collar of tiny petals surrounding the central disk. The flowers of 'Impression Famoso' somewhat resemble those of Japanese anemones. They show outer ligules of a fresh pink, slightly purple, more or less touched with white, and those at the centre are cream-coloured. The golden and bulging centre of the flower makes it even more luminous. The flowering takes place from July to October. The habit is bushy and compact, requiring no staking. The highly branched stems are hollow, and the exceptionally deeply cut leaves are opposite and pinnately divided, dividing them into 3 or 5 highly toothed lobes. The leaves and stems are dark green.
To promote reblooming, remove faded flowers or regularly make large colourful bouquets by combining them with other varieties. 'Impression Famoso' pairs particularly well with purple or white flowers, the silver foliage of cinerarias maritimas, or the airy mass of fennels that won't overshadow its flowering. In the front of borders or as an edging, this dahlia will form colourful spots in the company of echinaceas or California poppies, for example, which bloom simultaneously as asters. The plant looks superb in pots and is accessible for all gardeners to grow.
As a star plant for borders and herb gardens, dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers but are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants. This tuberous plant was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption in Mexico. But its poor taste qualities assigned it to the rank of ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
The Dahlia 'Collerette Impression Famoso' is easy to grow in all regions. For abundant flowering, it is good to follow a few simple rules. Plant the tubers in full sun after the last frost has passed. Rich, fresh, and well-drained soil is 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 blood, fish and bone. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill any air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6 cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, water once abundantly, then repeat this watering regularly during the first six weeks to aid in rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts will cause the foliage to blacken, which is the time to dig them up. Carefully unearth the tubers, removing as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tubers can replenish their reserves. Then cut the stems to 10 cm (4in). Spread your bulbs in a crate on newspaper. Store them in a frost-free, dry, cool, dark place like a garage or attic. In milder regions where frost is rare, it is possible to leave them in place. Simply cover the ground with a layer of leaves or straw for 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.
