A single Dahlia Waltzing Mathilda tuber grows into coral-pink flowers with elegant tips and a twisting shape. Alongside its vibrant blooms, this Dahlia has wonderful dark bronze-coloured foliage that perfectly accentuates and frames the bright flowers.
Not only does this dahlia dazzle in garden displays, but it is also a wonderful way to attract bees and other pollinators into your outdoor space. Its pollen-rich yellow, open centres add to the biodiversity of your garden and draw the eye in to admire the wonderful, ruffled petals.
Perfect for planting dramatic flower beds full of dahlias, this variety is bold enough to stand out from the crowd. Combine it with other bright varieties of dahlia or plant it in drifts of ornamental grasses for contrasting texture and movement.
Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, it is easy to grow, but to get the best floral display, plant your dahlia in a sunny location in moist but well drained soil. After planting, water well and monitor it during the summer months. Aim for one good soak once a week to the base of the plant. Deadheading regularly will encourage more flowers that last through to the first frost.
