The Decorative Dahlia 'Procyon' will make a stunning addition to any garden or flowerbed. This variety of dahlia is known for its large, showy blooms that can range in colour from warm oranges to deep reds with smooth yellow at their heart. The petals are full and fluffy, creating a dramatic and eye-catching display. Each stem can hold several blooms at once, making the 'Procyon' a great option for cut flower arrangements.
When it comes to planting and maintaining the 'Procyon' dahlia, it is important to note that it is a tuberous plant, which means it should be planted in the spring once the risk of frost has passed. The tubers should be planted about 15cm/6" deep and spaced about 60cm/24" apart. They prefer well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. It is also important to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
As the 'Procyon' dahlia grows, it may require staking or support to keep the stems upright. The plant can reach up to 105cm/42" tall and the blooms can weigh down the stems. Deadheading, or removing spent blooms, is also important to encourage the plant to continue producing new flowers. In addition, the 'Procyon' dahlia is a heavy feeder, so regular fertilization is recommended.
Overall, the decorative dahlia 'Procyon' is a beautiful and vibrant perennial that is perfect for any summer garden. Its large, showy blooms and long-lasting colour make it a great choice for cut flower arrangements. With proper planting and maintenance, the 'Procyon' dahlia will thrive and provide a stunning display throughout the growing season.
