Flowering from mid-summer through to the first frosts, these eye-catching 10cm\/4\" blooms stand out against its dense bushy green foliage with the tallest stems reaching about 50cm\/20\" tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Red Pigmy' is an ideal border and bedding plant that can also be grown on terraces and balconies. Tubers should be planted around 15cm\/6\" deep and 60cm\/24\" apart, in a position of full sun, allowing space for the plant to spread. Deadheading the flowers will also encourage the plant to produce more flowers throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor early flowering, tubers may be started off in boxes from March onwards. Use a light soil mixed with peat, keeping it slightly moist. Keep boxes cool and free of frost and plant sprouted tubers when danger of frost has passed. Keep plants well watered during growth and remove faded flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulb count per pack: 1 tuber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower colour: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowering months: July, August, September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowering height: 50cm\/20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Hardy in coastal and relatively mild parts of the UK (-5 to 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to plant: March, April, May, June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanting depth: 15cm\/6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulb spacing: 60cm\/24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil type: Moist but well-drained with a good supply of humus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil pH: Acid, Neutral, Alkaline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunlight: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WPC Prins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56082296504645,"sku":"1011475","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/c86e7a30-dahlia-cactus-red-pigmy-1-bulb.webp?v=1761657586","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-cactus-red-pigmy","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
