The purchased bulbs didn't produce any leaves, but no flowers, and when I removed them, the bulbs were dried out or rotten. So, I threw them away.

Description
A collection of Dahlias composed of the varieties Creme de Cassis and Creme de Cognac, with large double flowers displaying a beautiful palette of fruity colours combining mauve and plum, raspberry-washed cream, purple and mahogany. The plants, of medium size, bloom continuously from July to October. An absolutely delicious, chic and bohemian alliance, irresistible in borders or in homemade bouquets. Think of purple foliage, black flowers and blue asters to accompany them!
This collection consists of:
- x Dahlia Creme de Cassis: approximately 1m (3ft) tall, well double flowers of about 15cm (6in) in diameter, mauve on the periphery, gradually becoming more purple towards the centre. Stems and foliage are fairly dark green.
- x Dahlia Creme de Cognac: approximately 1m (3ft) tall, well double flowers of 11cm (4in) in diameter. Their colour is magnificent: a cream almost streaked with light raspberry pink on top, they show a reverse and an edging of a much darker pink. The centre of the head is occupied by petals in darker tones. The leaves are of medium green and the floral stems tinged with purple.
Dahlias are tuberous plants of the large family Asteraceae, originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. Dahlias are classified according to the shape of their flowers. 'Creme de Cognac and Creme de Cassis' are classified in the category of Decorative Dahlias. In this group, the colored ligules of the head are regularly arranged in a spiral, they can be bent towards the stem or curled, for example. Dahlias bloom from July to October. The habit is bushy and compact. The very branched stems are hollow and the leaves are opposite, pinnately divided, i.e. they divide into 3 or 5 very toothed lobes.
This duo of remarkably coloured dahlias pair particularly well with blue, pink, mauve and white flowers. In borders, they combine with all kinds of plants such as pink Echinaceas, for example, which bloom at the same time as well as Asters. Japanese anemones are good companions for the late season, as are annuals with purple foliage (Amaranth Velvet Curtains, Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum), with almost black flowers (Scabiosa atropurpurea Chile Black, Cosmos atrosanguineus).

Planting and care
Plant your dahlias in the spring in deeply worked soil enriched, for example, with bonemeal. 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, water with one litre of water. Water regularly during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts will blacken the foliage, which is the time to dig them up. Carefully remove the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tuber can replenish its reserves. When the foliage is dry, cut the stems 10 cm (4in) from the tuber. Spread your bulbs in a box on newspaper. Store in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place.

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.
