Dahlia - Arbatax - Hand-painted look, balanced border colour - Tuber - 1 pc

Dahlia 'Arbatax' proves that true beauty lies in the details. Its fully double, white flowers are finished with beautiful pink edging around the petals, giving them an almost hand-painted appearance. This precise detailing lends the whole plant remarkable lightness and elegance. It is an ideal choice if you are looking for a subtle contrast for your border, bringing plenty of harmony and calm to the garden without overwhelming it with too much colour.

Planting time

Dahlia tubers should be planted in spring, once the frosts have passed and the soil has warmed up. This most often falls at the turn of April and May. They can also be started earlier in pots indoors to give the plants a head start.

Planting depth

The tuber should be placed in the ground so that the buds are covered with around 5-7 cm of growing medium. This layer helps protect it from drying out and stabilises the young shoots.

Spacing

The optimum distance between plants is 40-50 cm. This allows them to develop freely and makes care easier throughout the season.

Height

Arbatax reaches 80-90 cm in height, producing evenly branched shoots with a stable habit.

Flowering period

It flowers from July to October. Regular removal of faded flower heads helps to maintain continuous blooming.

Winter care

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

Use

Thanks to its light colouring, Arbatax works especially well in contrast-based planting schemes. Paired with dark dahlia varieties or plants with purple foliage, it creates a clear division of colour. It is also suitable for bouquets, where its two-toned petals introduce a subtle decorative accent.
