Dahlia - Apricot Star - Apricot glow, star of summer bouquets - Tuber - 1 pc

Apricot Star draws the eye with its slender, cactus-shaped flowers and warm apricot-yellow colouring. The narrow, elongated petals are arranged in a radiating form, and their colour shifts from pale, subtly pink tips to a lighter, yellowish centre. Thanks to this play of colour, the flowers are not uniform - they change with the light and their stage of development. This variety brings lightness and bright colour to the border in the latter part of the season.

Planting time

Dahlia tubers are planted in spring, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has clearly warmed up - most often 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 covered with a layer of soil about 5-10 cm thick. The buds should be covered, but not placed too deeply.

Spacing

Leave 50-60 cm between plants to give them room to grow and ensure good air circulation.

Height

This variety reaches 90-120 cm in height, producing upright stems that are visible from a distance.

Flowering period

Flowering begins in July and continues until the first autumn frosts. Regular removal of faded flowers encourages the formation of further buds.

Overwintering

Dahlia does not overwinter in the ground. In autumn, after the first frosts, the tubers should be lifted and stored in a dry, cool room at around 2-4°C.

Use

Apricot Star works well in combinations with plants with darker flowers or foliage, where its light colouring brings balance. It is also suitable as a cut flower - the long, slender petals give bouquets lightness and grace.
