Description
The Decorative Dahlia 'Break Out' is a variety with very large flowers of 20 to 25 cm known as "dinnerplate" like the famous 'Café au Lait'. Distinctive and elegant, it produces a double, flat flower in pastel tones, with wide petals, featuring shades of cream, soft pink, and very light brown, brightened by a yellow halo at the centre. Easy to grow, this beautiful large-sized bush blooms throughout the summer and brightens up your flower beds and your vegetable garden and is ideal for creating beautiful bouquets.
From the Asteraceae family, dahlias are tuberous plants originating from the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, there are thousands of horticultural varieties that have conquered gardens worldwide. Dahlias are classified according to the shape of their flower. The variety 'Break Out' belongs to the Decorative Dahlias. They are characterized by ligules (or petals) arranged regularly in a spiral, which can be curved towards the stem or fringed.
The flower heads of the variety 'Break Out' measure approximately 20 to 25 cm, even up to 30 cm in diameter. The ligules are cream, tinted with soft pink and illuminated with yellow at the base. The flowering period extends from July until the first frosts. The bushy, upright plant will reach approximately 1.30 to 1.50 m in height, with a width of 60 to 70 cm. The hollow stems are fragile in windy conditions. The green leaves are opposite, divided into 3 or 5 leaflets.
To stimulate and prolong the flowering of dahlias, regularly remove faded flowers. Create charming country bouquets by playing with colours and various shapes. Combine different dahlias in a flower bed or vary the species in the vegetable garden. Decorative dahlias, stars of cottage gardens, pair perfectly with light flowers such as white or pink gauras and annual cleomes. For a soft atmosphere, also include Echinaceas and salvias, like Salvia microphylla 'Gletsjer' with delicate white flowers.

Planting and care
The decorative Dahlia 'Break Out' is easy to grow in all regions. Here are some simple rules to follow to enjoy its beautiful and generous flowering. Plant the tubers in the sun after the last frosts. A rich, moist, and well-drained soil will be greatly appreciated. Avoid any stagnant moisture that promotes tuber rot. Amend your soil with compost (for poor soil) and sand (for drainage) if necessary. Work your soil deeply and enrich it with crushed horn or dehydrated blood, as desired. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well around it to fill any air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6 cm of soil. Water abundantly at planting and regularly during the first six weeks to aid in rooting.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts blacken the foliage, signaling it's time to dig them up. Carefully unearth the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so the tubers can replenish their reserves. Then cut the stems to 10 cm. Spread your tubers in a crate on newspaper. Store them in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place, such as a frost-free garage or attic, for example. In southern regions near the coast, experiencing few days of frost per year, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, simply cover the ground with a thick mulch (leaves, straw, etc.).
Pinch the stems early (from the 3rd or 4th week after planting) to make your dahlia more compact and branched, and therefore more resistant to adverse weather conditions (wind, rain). To do this, cut with your nails the terminal shoots just above the previous leaves. Otherwise, you always have the option of staking, but the aesthetic result may not be to everyone's taste.
Slugs and snails are very fond of these young shoots. Protect them!

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.
