Dahlia Dwarf Double Mix Seeds

Dahlia pinnata is a vibrant and compact variety that brings an explosion of colour to any garden or container.

 

The Latin name Dahlia honours the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl, while pinnata refers to the fern-like, pinnate leaves of the plant. This mixed variety offers a delightful array of double blooms in shades of pink, red, yellow, and orange, perfect for adding brightness to borders, hanging baskets, and patio containers.

 

Growing to a height of 30-40 cm, Dahlia Dwarf Double Mix is perfect for smaller gardens or as a striking feature in containers and hanging baskets. Despite its compact size, it produces large, showy blooms that are perfect for cutting and adding to floral arrangements. Its low-growing nature makes it an excellent choice for both sunny borders and decorative pots.

Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from February to April in trays or pots filled with moist, well-drained compost. Lightly press the seeds into the surface, but do not cover them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 18-21°C. Germination typically takes 7-21 days.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and allow them to grow until they are ready to be moved outside. Harden off the young plants by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for a week before planting them outdoors after the last frost.

 

Dahlia Dwarf Double Mix thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly and feed with a balanced fertiliser to encourage strong growth and vibrant blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage new flowers and prolong the blooming season.

 

This compact dahlia variety is perfect for adding a splash of colour to any garden, with the bonus of being easy to grow and ideal for smaller spaces. Whether in a container or as part of a border, Dahlia Dwarf Double Mix will provide a stunning display from summer through to autumn.
