Dahlia ‘Night Queen’ is a rich and romantic dahlia variety that is recognised by its deep, rich red blooms. The petals are large and fully double, creating a full and fluffy appearance that is a wonderful sight in the summer garden.
To plant your Dahlia ‘Night Queen’ tuber, simply choose a sunny spot in your garden that has well-drained soil. Once you have selected the location, dig a hole that is roughly twice the size of the tuber and plant it with the eyes facing upwards. Cover the tuber with soil and gently press down to ensure that it is firmly in place. Water well and keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season.
To maintain your Dahlia ‘Night Queen’, it is important to keep the soil consistently moist and to deadhead the blooms as they begin to fade. This will encourage the plant to produce more blooms throughout the growing season.
