Dahlia Cactus Purple Gem
Stunning Cactus Dahlia with Captivating Deep Purple, Spiky Petals
This cactus dahlia is a garden showstopper, boasting deep purple, spiky petals that add dramatic flair to borders or containers. Plant tubers in late spring, 10-15cm (4-6 inches) deep in fertile, well-drained soil. Space them 30-50cm (12-20 inches) apart in a sunny location. Dahlias bloom from mid-summer to the first frost, thriving with regular watering and deadheading. Stake tall varieties to support their striking blooms, which are perfect for cut flower arrangements or bold garden displays.
