Dahlia Gardenetta Lavender

The Dahlia Gardenetta® Lavender is an exceptional variety from the Gardenetta® series, renowned for its large double flowers that combine elegance and robustness. Its broad, flat, pure white petals with a delicate lavender halo at the tips surround a vibrant yellow centre and a ruffled collar that adds a unique charm to this refined flowering. With its superior performance and remarkable resistance to powdery mildew, this plant stands out as an ideal choice for borders, the front of flowerbeds, and flower pots.

Belonging to the Asteraceae family, Dahlia originate from the high plateaux of Mexico, where they have thrived for centuries before being widely hybridised by horticulturists. The Dahlia Gardenetta Lavender, like other varieties in this series, has been selected for its large flowers, robustness, and compact habit. This variety will reach a height of 30 to 45 cm and a spread of 25 to 30 cm, forming a well-branched clump of dark green foliageproviding a perfect setting for its bright flowers. It has an upright and compact habit, requiring no staking. The flower heads take on the appearance of round, double corollas formed of numerous ligulate florets. The highly branched stems are sturdy, and the opposite leaves are divided into 3 or 5 very denticulate lobes. The leaves and stems are dark green with greyish reflections. Flowering begins in July and continues until October, bringing touches of light and colour to the garden throughout the growing season.

For prolonged flowering, it is recommended to regularly remove faded flowers, which will stimulate the production of new blooms. This Dahlia thrives in sunny positions and in rich, moist, and well-drained soil. It requires minimal maintenance, making it a particularly suitable variety for gardeners of all levels.

The Dahlia Gardenetta Lavender harmonises perfectly with light and graceful perennials and annuals such as coneflowers, Gaura lindheimeri, Cosmos, or Verbena bonariensis, which provide subtle contrasts in form and texture. For a more structured effect, consider pairing it with grasses such as Pennisetum villosum or Stipa tenuissima, which will add movement and softness to the display. With its elegant flowers and robustness, the Dahlia Gardenetta Lavender is a versatile and decorative variety, ideal for enhancing flowerbeds and beautifying terraces throughout the growing season.
