Soft hues of pink encapsulate Dahlia ‘Stolze Von Berlin’.
Admire silky pink, open florets in a glass vase on the windowsill or plant in a patio container and enjoy them whilst sitting outside on Summer days.
Plant dahlia tubers, such as ‘Stolze Von Berlin’, between March and June into fertile, well drained soil 15cm deep and 60cm 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.
Some tall and large flowerhead dahlia varieties may need staking for support during the flowering season. Use an all-purpose general plant feed for bigger and brighter blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers through till first frosts.
