Description

A collection of 3 semi-cactus Dahlias in warm tones. Their large flowers, all bristling with tubular and dentate petals, showcase a joyful palette of orange, yellow, salmon pink, and bright red hues. They bloom abundantly from July until the first frost, creating remarkably colorful spots among tall perennials and bushes. You can also create beautiful homemade bouquets with asters and grass flowers.

This collection consists of:

-1x Dahlia semi-cactus 'Omega': large flowers of approximately 20 cm (8in), globular, with a salmon pink color tinged with yellow, carried at the end of purplish floral stems. Height: 1 m (3ft)

-1x Dahlia cactus 'Ludwig Helfert': 15 cm (6in) flowers, rounded, fully double, with completely rolled ligulate petals, in a beautiful light orange color, very bright. This variety is particularly floriferous. Height: 1.10 m 

-1x Dahlia semi-cactus 'Witteman's Best' (synonym Superba): on 1.30 m (4ft) stems, 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) wide flowers filled with pointed petals, in a crimson red color, darkened at the heart with shades of violet. 

To encourage repeat flowering, make sure to cut off faded flowers, or even better, regularly make large colorful bouquets by combining them with other varieties. With their variegated and flamboyant flowers, the dahlias in this collection go particularly well with orange, red, yellow, or white flowers. In flower beds, combine them with Asters for example, which bloom at the same time, as well as grass flowers at their peak of beauty. Also consider Heleniums and Echinaceas. They also allow you to enhance bouquets until late in the season.

A star plant for borders and herb gardens, Dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers but are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste assigned it the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care

Plant your dahlias in the spring in a deeply worked and enriched soil, for example with crushed bone or dehydrated blood. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill without any air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with 6 cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, pour a litre of water. Water regularly during the first 6 weeks to aid in rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts will blacken the foliage, indicating it's time to dig them up. Carefully unearth the tubers, removing as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tuber can replenish its reserves. Once the foliage is dry, cut the stems to 10 cm (4in) from the tuber. Spread your bulbs on a newspaper in a box. Store in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place.
