Border Dahlia collection

In our Border Dahlia collection you will find four beautiful, compact varieties with a height between 40 and 50 cm. They grow compactly and flower profusely from early summer until late autumn. These dahlias are perfect for border planting and mixed borders. Due to their compact growth, they are also very suitable for planting in pots.

Perfect combinations with summer flowers

Dahlias can be easily combined with other summer flowers. For example, by planting the tubers next to ranunculus or anemones, you will add more colour and variety to your garden. This also ensures that you can enjoy a blooming garden for longer. Dahlias flower from June to October, while other summer flowers add colour earlier or later in the season.

This combination not only creates a colourful display, but also ensures a longer blooming season in your garden. While your dahlias flower from June to October, other summer flowers can add colour earlier or later in the season. This way, you can enjoy a blooming garden throughout the season.

Steps for planting dahlias

Unlike spring flowers, dahlias are not flower bulbs but tubers. The elongated roots are dry and tuberous. Plant the tubers from April onwards when there is no longer a risk of frost. Planting dahlias is easy, but follow these steps for a beautiful result:

• Choose a sunny spot.
• Make sure the soil is well-draining.
• Dig a hole about 15 cm deep.
• Keep a distance of about 30 to 60 cm between each tuber.
• Place the tuber so that the old stem protrudes just above the soil.
• Fill the hole back in with soil and water thoroughly immediately.

Caring for dahlias

After planting, good care is important. With a little attention, your dahlias will soon bloom beautifully.

Ø  Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but make sure the soil does not remain too wet to prevent root rot.

Ø  Cut off the top growing point as soon as the plant has 3 to 4 pairs of leaves for a fuller plant.

Ø  Feed with some fertiliser every month for optimal growth.

Ø  Remove faded flowers so that new flowers can form.

Ø  In autumn, after the first frost, you can cut off the stems and dig up the tubers. Store them in a dry place for the following year. This way, your dahlias will continue to bloom year after year.

Special dahlia collections for pollinators

Our bee and butterfly dahlia collection looks beautiful and attracts beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies to your garden. Varieties such as ‘Sunrich Orange’ and ‘Night Butterfly’ provide nectar and pollen, which is good for biodiversity. They also add extra life to the garden.
