Dahlia - Alauna Clair-Obscur - Hypnotic colour contrast, bold for bouquets - Tuber - 1 pc

This variety draws the eye at once with its striking colour contrast and the sharp, expressive form of its flowers. The narrow, deeply cut petals shift from an intense purple-pink centre to pale, almost white tips. The flower heads have a clearly defined structure, which helps bring order to planted arrangements and gives them a strong, deliberate rhythm.

Planting time

Dahlia tubers are planted in spring. They should be placed in the ground only once the risk of frost has passed - usually from late April to May. An earlier start is possible indoors, in pots kept in a bright room.

Planting depth

The dahlia tuber should be covered with a layer of soil about 5-7 cm thick. The buds must not be left exposed, but they should not be buried too deeply beneath the surface of the growing medium either.

Spacing

When planting, it is worth leaving 40-60 cm between plants. This amount of space allows the shoots to develop freely and makes care easier throughout the season.

Height

The plant reaches 80-120 cm in height, depending on the growing conditions and position.

Flowering period

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

Wintering

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

Use

Alauna Clair-Obscur works particularly well in arrangements built around contrasts of colour and form. Its needle-like flowers provide an intriguing counterpoint to the soft lines of broad-leaved perennials. It is also suitable as a cut flower - in bouquets, it brings clear structure and a strong colour accent.
