Dahlia Anemone Soulman

The 'Soulman' dahlia is part of the anemone flowered dahlias family; its captivating colour will not leave you indifferent.

This summer bulb can reach a height of 70cm (28in), making it a medium-sized but compact variety.

The reddish purple, almost garnet flowers have a row of often irregular outer petals and a significant, prominent centre representing two-thirds of the total diameter. The centre is double, like a very tight beehive called "the hive". The flowers will appear from July and last until the first frost; they are ideal for bouquets.

The foliage of the dahlia is deciduous and imposing. The 'Soulman' dahlia should be planted in ordinary, humus-bearing, well-drained soil in full light.

At the first frost, the bulbs should be stored in a dry place, protected from light and frost.

Plant with white dahlias to create beautiful bouquets.
