Dahlia ‘Speckled Mixed’ (3 tubers)

A dazzling display of speckled and flecked colour will appear from these Dahlia ‘Speckled Mixed’ tubers.

This beautiful and diverse selection of mixed speckled Dahlias will be invaluable for the summer border, in patio containers or when cut with stunning blooms of flecked, double flowers.

These tubers should be planted during spring, after the danger of frost has passed and will often flower throughout summer and autumn until the first frosts. Keep picking them and one dahlia tuber will produce hundreds of flowers.

Plant these tubers 15 cm deep and 60 cm apart into well drained soil with a good supply of humus.

For early flowering these tubers may be started off in boxes from the start of April, using light soil mixed with peat. Keep the boxes cool and free of frost and plant the sprouted tubers when the dangers of frost have passed.

Keep the plants well watered and deadhead to prolong flowering. Cut back to near ground level in the autumn, before lifting and storing for the winter.
