Dahlia Black Touch (2 Tubers)

A pack of 2 Dahlia Black Touch tubers produce exquisite deep red, almost black flowers that last through summer to the first frost. With such depth of colour, the petals create layer upon layer of ruffled blooms that go from almost back at the centre to burgundy at the edges.

The wonderful, notched petals create an unusual spike-like silhouette that further elevates the appeal of this striking Dahlia. It will stand out in an unbeatable bed of dahlias or will blend seamlessly with other blooms such as Verbena Bonariensis for a pollinator friendly floral display.

Dahlias make excellent cut flowers as they have a long vase life. In addition to this, the more you pick, the more the flowers will grow, so there will be plenty to enjoy in your indoor and outdoor space.

To get the best floral display, plant your dahlia in a sunny location in moist but well drained soil. 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. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers through to the first frost.
