With layers of rolled petals, the large decorative dahlia ‘Kiev’ is perfect for creating low maintenance garden displays with wow-factor. With flowerheads that reach up to 20cm diameter, these flowers seamlessly blend creamy white and soft pink hues to accentuate its beautiful shape.
A versatile addition to the summer garden, it will thrive planted in large pots and containers to add colour to patio and seating areas. It will also create an eye-catching feature planted at the middle or back of a mixed display, adding long-lasting height and structure.
Throughout its flowering season, it grows a cascade of blooms to enjoy. This means you have more than enough to enjoy in the garden, while also snipping some to admire around the home as well.
To ensure that your dahlia looks at its best, regularly deadhead the spent blooms, as this encourages new buds to form. Add a support for the flowers if the stems start to drop and add a layer of protection during the harsh winter weather. You will then enjoy many years of magnificent floral displays.
