An elegant, dazzling decorative Dahlia, ‘Diamond Debutante’ has giant flowerheads that can reach up to 20cm in diameter to create an uplifting and eye-catching summer display. With layers of petals forming neatly around its centre, the vibrant pink hues are contrasted by the bright white base of each petal.
A gardeners’ favourite that is loved for its showy flowers, it will repeat bloom right through to autumn. Perfect for planting at the back of a wall side border, the large flowers grow on tall upright stems that reach up to a metre in height and punctuate a mixed display. They will also make an excellent cut flower to admire in arrangements around the home.
Robust and low maintenance to grow, with minimal care they will return year after year. Simply remove any faded flower heads as this encourages new buds to form, consider adding a support if the flowers start to droop and add protection from harsh winter conditions.
