Dahlia - Apache - Flaming red, summer favourite for bouquets - Tuber - 1 pc

Dahlia 'Apache' (Dahlia) produces intensely red, striking flowers with a distinctly cactus-like form. The densely arranged, narrow petals are sharply pointed, in places slightly twisted and forked, which gives the flowerheads a fine, needle-like character. The saturated colour stands out beautifully against the dark green foliage. Its compact habit makes it suitable both as a single specimen and in larger groups, while the long flowering period maintains a strong colour accent throughout summer and into early autumn.

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. An earlier start is possible indoors, in pots set in a bright position.

Planting depth

The dahlia tuber should be covered with a layer of soil about 5-10 cm thick. The buds should sit below the surface of the growing medium, but not too deeply.

Spacing

It is worth allowing 50-60 cm between plants. This spacing ensures good air circulation and allows the shoots to develop freely.

Height

The plant grows to 80-100 cm in height, producing upright, sturdy stems.

Flowering period

Flowering begins in July and continues until October. Regular removal of faded blooms encourages the production of 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 place until the following spring.

Use

Apache performs particularly well towards the back of a border, especially in combinations with plants bearing lighter-coloured flowers. Its needle-like form breaks up the softer lines of perennials and grasses. It is also suitable as a cut flower - in bouquets it brings strong, even colour and a clearly defined structure.
