Dahlia - Blue Boy - Deep purple, striking border accent - Tuber - 1 pc

'Blue Boy' is a variety with a deep, rich purple colour and regular, hemispherical flowers. The petals are neatly layered, creating a compact, orderly form that holds its shape well throughout the flowering period. The colour is intense without being overpowering, making it suitable for both bold combinations and more restrained arrangements. This dahlia gives structure to the border and makes a clear presence within it.

Planting time

Plant the tubers in spring - from April to May - once the frosts have passed and the soil has warmed up. Earlier cultivation is possible in pots, indoors.

Planting depth

Place the tuber so that it sits beneath a layer of soil about 5-8 cm thick. The eyes should face upwards.

Spacing

Leave 40-50 cm between plants to give them enough room to develop and access to light.

Height

The plant grows to 90-100 cm, forming a distinct vertical accent in plantings.

Flowering period

The flowers appear in July and last until the first autumn chills.

Overwintering

Dahlia does not overwinter in the ground. After the first frosts, the tubers should be dug up, dried and stored in a cool, dry room at 3-5°C.

Use

This variety works well in the middle and back of borders, where it can provide a backdrop for lower-growing plants. The purple colour pairs nicely with white, pale pink and plants with silvery leaves. The flowers are also suitable for cutting, especially for bouquets in cool tones.
