Dahlia Ball ‘El Paso’ (1 tuber)

Dahlia Ball ‘El Paso’ is known for its large, showy blooms that consist of fully double lilac-pink petals that blend into a soft buttery yellow towards their centre. These elegant and compact blooms deepen in colour as they age and are held on long dark stems above the foliage which makes them ideal for cutting.

When planting your Dahlia ‘El Paso’ tuber, it is important to choose a sunny spot in the garden that has well-drained soil. The tubers should be planted around 15cm deep and spaced around 60cm apart. They should be planted in late spring, after the last frost has passed.

Once the tuber has been planted, it is important to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. ”El Paso’ plants will also benefit from regular feeding with a high-potash fertiliser. It is also important to deadhead the flowers regularly as this will encourage more blooms to form.

With its beautiful and vibrant blooms, the Dahlia ‘El Paso’ is sure to be a standout feature in any garden.
