Description
The Dahlia Happy Single Wink offers masses of single flowers throughout the summer, with a soft pink colour and a deeper pink centre, highlighted by dark purple-black cut foliage. The plant is compact and well-branched, perfect for the terrace or borders. Plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil.
Dahlias, from the asteraceae family, are originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, the approximately 20,000 horticultural varieties created by humans have invaded gardens around the world, much to our delight.
The 'Happy Single Wink' variety is a recent variety belonging to the group of dwarf dahlias with single flowers. The plant will not exceed 60 cm (24in) in height and 40 cm (16in) in width. It has a bushy, branched and compact habit, not requiring staking. This variety flowers from July to October. The flower heads measure 8 cm (3in) in diameter and resemble simple corollas composed of a row of soft pink ligules arranged in a collar of pale pink, shaded towards the center with a deep pink halo around a cluster of golden yellow florets. The highly branched stems are hollow and the leaves are opposite and divided into 3 or 5 finely toothed lobes. The leaves and stems are a rare shade of dark purple with black highlights. To encourage continuous flowering and extend the flowering period, be sure to remove faded flowers.
The Happy Single dahlias are adorable dwarf landscape dahlias with vibrant colours. 'Wink' pairs particularly well with cosmos and Lychnis coronaria. It will create colourful spots at the front of borders alongside Echinaceas, Helenies, and white cactus dahlias. Also consider combining it with Pennisetum villosum, a lovely fluffy grass, to add softness and delicacy to the arrangement. This variety is particularly suitable for container gardening to easily adorn the terrace or balcony.
As a star plant for borders and cottage gardens, dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers as well as the humble vegetables. They can be used to create beautiful potted displays or charming bouquets. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste relegated it to the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

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.
