Dahlia Nuit D'Été
Deep, Dark Dahlia, a Mysterious Beauty
Add drama and sophistication to your garden with the rich, velvety blooms of this deep, dark dahlia. Plant dahlia tubers in late spring, after the danger of frost has passed. They should be buried 10-15cm (4-6 inches) deep in fertile, well-drained soil, with the growing points facing upwards. Space tubers 30-50cm (12-20 inches) apart for an impressive display. These dahlias thrive in full sun and bloom continuously from mid-summer to late autumn. Perfect for borders or cutting gardens, their striking appearance makes them a standout feature.
