Dahlia - Akita - Flame-bright mix, striking border backdrop - Tuber - 1 pc

If your garden is missing a strong, warm burst of colour, Akita will quickly fill that space. Its large, fully double flowers combine shades of yellow, orange and red, while the pale, almost white tips of the petals give them a bold, clearly defined pattern. The flower heads are dense and symmetrical, remaining highly visible even from a greater distance. This is a variety that brings energy and a vivid contrast to the border.

Planting time

Dahlia tubers are planted in spring. They should be placed in the ground after the risk of frost has passed, usually from late April to May, when the soil has already warmed up. Earlier cultivation can begin indoors, in pots set in a bright room.

Planting depth

The dahlia tuber should be covered with a layer of soil approximately 5-10 cm thick. The buds should be positioned neither too shallowly nor too deeply.

Spacing

It is advisable to leave around 50 cm between plants. This amount of space allows the shoots to develop freely and makes seasonal care easier.

Height

The plant reaches 90-120 cm in height, forming a distinct vertical feature in the planting scheme.

Flowering period

Flowering falls between July and October. With regular removal of faded blooms, the plant continues to produce further buds until the first cold spells.

Winter care

This dahlia does not overwinter in the ground. Once the season has ended and the first frosts have arrived, the tubers should be lifted, cleaned and stored in a dry, cool place until the following spring.

Use

Akita works particularly well as the focal point of a tall border or as a backdrop behind lower plantings. Its intense colouring makes it easy to pair with plants in calmer shades, creating bold autumn displays with a clear visual contrast. It is also suitable as a cut flower, as the large, compact flower heads keep their good form in a vase for a long time.
