It is well suited wherever a cooler accent is needed in summer planting schemes.

Planting time

Dahlia tubers are planted in spring, once the risk of frost has passed - usually from late April to May - into warmed soil. Earlier cultivation can be started indoors, in pots placed in a bright position.

Planting depth

The tuber should be covered with a layer of soil about 7-10 cm thick. The buds should be positioned just below the surface of the growing medium.

Spacing

Leave 30-50 cm between plants to give them room to grow.

Height

This variety grows to 80-90 cm tall, producing sturdy, upright stems.

Flowering period

Flowers from July to October. Regular removal of faded blooms encourages the formation of new buds.

Overwintering

Dahlias do not overwinter in the ground. After the first frosts, the tubers should be lifted and stored in a dry, cool place until the following spring.

Use

Dahlia 'Bayou' is excellent for borders, containers and as a cut flower for bouquets. Its intense purple colour adds distinctive character to any arrangement, both in the garden and in indoor displays. It can also serve as a striking accent in minimalist compositions with ornamental grasses.
