Dahlia Semi-Cactus ‘Bora Bora’ (1 tuber)

Dahlia Semi-Cactus ‘Bora Bora’ will make an exciting and exotic addition to any summer garden.

Its striking, fully double blooms have furled red petals, flanked with pink on the tips and yellow in the centre.

These large blooms are set against bushy green foliage and will stand out in a garden border or large patio container.

We recommend planting Dahlia tubers, such as ‘Bora Bora’, between March and June into fertile, well drained soil 15 cm deep and 60 cm 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.

Use an all-purpose general plant feed for bigger and brighter blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers through till first frosts. Cut back to near ground level in the autumn, before lifting and storing for the winter.
