Dahlia - After Dusk - Deep burgundy, bold for contrast borders - Tuber - 1 pc

This is one of those varieties that sets the mood of a border through colour rather than size. Its deep wine-burgundy flowers, with densely arranged petals, form compact, regular heads with a clearly defined structure. The colour is rich and even, allowing the plant to bring order to a planting scheme and act as a strong focal point among lighter varieties.

Planting time

Dahlia tubers are planted in spring. They should be placed in the ground only after the risk of frost has passed, once the soil has become properly warmed. An earlier start is possible indoors, in pots kept in a bright, cool position.

Planting depth

The dahlia tuber should be covered with a layer of soil about 7-10 cm thick. The buds must not be set too deeply, but they should not be left exposed either.

Spacing

When planting, it is worth keeping a distance of 30-40 cm between plants. This provides suitable air circulation and enough room for the shoots to develop.

Height

The plant grows to about 80 cm in height, forming a compact, neat habit.

Flowering period

Flowering begins in July and continues until October. Regular removal of faded blooms encourages the plant to produce further buds.

Winter care

This dahlia does not overwinter in the ground. After the first frosts, the tubers should be lifted, cleaned, and stored in a dry, cool, and airy place until spring.

Use

After Dusk works particularly well as a backdrop for pale perennials and ornamental grasses. Its dark colouring makes it ideal for creating contrasting combinations and gives arrangements greater depth. It is also suitable as a cut flower - in bouquets it brings a distinct yet calm note and combines well with cream and pink shades.
