Dahlia Cactus ‘Aloha’ (1 tuber)

Dahlia Cactus ‘Aloha’ has vibrant orange-yellow spiky flowers typical of semi-cactus Dahlia, tipped with fiery red.

Held up by erect, dark green stems, this cactus dahlia has narrow florets that point in all directions.

Dahlia ‘Aloha’ are ideal for summer borders and containers however they particularly excel as cut flowers with striking blooms that continue to flower the more you pick.

We recommend planting Dahlia tubers, such as ‘Aloha’, between March and June into fertile, well drained soil 15 cm deep and 60 cm apart. Position in a sunny location for maximum flowering and impact.

After planting, water in well and monitor during the Summer months. Aim for one good soak once a week to the base of the plant.

Use an all-purpose general plant feed for bigger and brighter blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers through till first frosts. Cut back to near ground level in the autumn, before lifting and storing for the winter.
