Dahlia Semi-Cactus 'Yellow Star' (1 tuber)

Blooms of vibrant yellow stretch out in all directions with Dahlia 'Yellow Star'.

As a semi-cactus dahlia, flowerheads are large and pointy in appearance with curved florets rolled outwards. This beautiful intricacy is why they are a star of the show.

We recommend planting dahlia tubers, such as 'Yellow Star', between March and June into fertile, well drained soil 15cm deep and 60cm apart. Position in a sunny location for maximum flowering and impact. 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.

Some tall and large flowerhead dahlia varieties may need staking for support during the flowering season. Use an all-purpose general plant feed for bigger and brighter blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers through till first frosts.
