Dahlia - Alstergruss - Hot colour splash for small gardens - Tuber - 1 pc

Low-growing, compact and vividly coloured, Alstergruss performs particularly well in smaller spaces, where a clear form and strong colour make all the difference. Its fully double flowers in shades of red and orange create a warm, intense display, while their regular, radiant arrangement gives the plant a neat, orderly appearance. The stiff stems hold the flower heads without the need for support, so this variety keeps its tidy habit throughout the season.

Planting time

Dahlia tubers should be planted in spring, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up properly - usually from late April to May. An earlier start is possible indoors, in pots placed in a bright position.

Planting depth

The dahlia tuber should be placed so that it sits beneath a layer of soil around 7-10 cm thick. Planting too shallowly encourages drying out, while planting too deeply delays the plant’s start.

Spacing

It is worth leaving 30-40 cm between plants. This spacing helps maintain good air circulation and an attractive, well-kept planting scheme.

Height

This variety grows to around 40 cm, forming a low, compact habit suited to smaller arrangements.

Flowering period

Flowering lasts from July to October. Regular removal of faded blooms encourages the plant to produce further buds.

Wintering

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 place until spring.

Use

Alstergruss is well suited to the edges of flower beds, balcony boxes and larger garden bowls. Thanks to its compact growth, it can be planted in groups to create an even, colourful surface. It is also suitable for small bouquets, where it brings a warm, richly saturated note.
