Fairly large tubers upon receipt, I am satisfied, now it's just a matter of planting them.

Description

The 'Purple Fox' Dahlia is a variety of Pompom Dahlia. The flowers with dense and clustered petals form a ball fuchsia pink with purple lilac reflections, blooming from July to October.

 

This perennial has tuberous swollen roots. Gathered in bundles, these tubers give rise to upright, hollow and branched stems, carrying compound, odd-pinnate leaves with rounded leaflets. Solid, fleshy stems, 70cm (28in) tall, are topped with ligulate flowers in fuchsia purple, measuring 7cm (3in) in diameter.

The 'Purple Fox' Dahlia grows in rich, clayey but healthy soil, worked deeply in warm and sunny conditions, sheltered from prevailing winds. It languishes in poor, sandy soils.

The 'Purple Fox' Dahlia is used in mixed borders with other varieties or for making bouquets.

Tips: When planting, take into account the dimensions for the composition of your borders.

Planting and care

The 'Purple Fox' Dahlia should be planted from mid-April to early May at a depth of 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) and spaced 60cm (24in) apart. Always stake the plant and tie the young stems loosely. Apply slow-release compost or organic fertilizer during planting and liquid fertilizer once a month during growth. Water without wetting the foliage. There is no need to remove buds on this variety. Treat against aphids and slugs. Dig up the tubers before the frost, cutting the stems to 15cm (6in) from the stump. Store them in darkness in a cool, well-ventilated place that is not too damp. Transplant in early May when the risk of frost has passed.
