A decorative dahlia with a difference, Dahlia ‘Fire and Ice’ has pristine white petals alongside fire engine reds that form around a yellow central disc. Sold in packs that contain a single tuber, this variety produces an abundance of flowers, and creates low maintenance garden features.
Reaching up to 60cm in height, this Dahlia is slightly shorter than other varieties ensuring that its stems hold a good overall shape, while the fire and ice combination of colours means they still dazzle in the summer garden. A wonderful addition to pots and containers, they will also look striking at the front of a mixed bed adding a bold combination of colours to admire. The unique flowers are also excellent for cutting to enjoy in a vase.
To ensure you get the best from your dahlia, plant your tuber in a bright and sunny position with free draining, but moist soil. Regularly deadhead throughout the flowering season to encourage new buds to form and provide some protection from harsh winter weather conditions.
