A gardeners’ favourite, the tried and tested Dahlia ‘Sandra’ has an abundance of brilliant pink, fully double flowers that add uplifting beauty to enjoy. With petals that form in a spiral out from the centre, each flower creates a geometric pattern that reaches up to 8cm in diameter.
A compact, clump forming variety, it is perfect for planting in containers to brighten up seating areas and add colour to entrances. It also looks wonderful mingling through the middle and back of a border and is of course a worthy addition to the cut flower garden. With a profusion of flowers to admire, there are more than enough to add to arrangements around the home without impacting on the beauty displays around the garden.
Low maintenance and reliable to grow, this dahlia will return year after year with its colourful display of blooms. Remember to regularly cut back spent flowers to extend the flowering season and provide protection from harsh frosts in winter.
