Dahlia Figaro Mixed Seed

A compact annual with bright, double and semi double blooms in reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, whites, and purples  perfect for pots, edging, and colourful summer borders.

 

Dahlia Figaro Mixed is a half hardy perennial typically grown as an annual from seed. Plants form neat, bushy mounds and flower early, producing a profusion of pompon-like blooms that hold well in rain.

 

Ideal for containers and small spaces, they bring continuous colour from midsummer to autumn, and their open centres still offer value to pollinators when semi-double forms are present.

 

Easy to grow and reliable in a range of conditions.

Sowing Instructions

 

Sow indoors from February to April in trays or modules, covering lightly with 3–5 mm of compost or vermiculite. Maintain 18–22°C and keep evenly moist until germination (7–21 days). Pot on when large enough to handle and grow on in bright conditions. Harden off and plant outdoors after the last frost, spacing 25–30 cm apart.

 

Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous flowering. In mild areas, small tubers may form; lift and store frost-free if you wish to replant next spring.
