The Claudette dahlia (Dahlia) is a unique variety that strikes with its huge double flowers that consist of perfectly formed tear-shaped petals. The undisputed beauty of its purple-pink inflorescences is additionally magnified by the exceptional abundance of the flowers. This medium tall, 50 to 70 centimetres of height, bushy perennial is covered with flowers from July to October. Due to the attractive shape and colour of the flowers, the Claudette dahlia supplies great material for fresh bouquets. In smaller gardens it will look great as a solitary plant on a lawn, while it constitutes a valuable addition to flower beds in larger gardens.
Dahlia tubers should be planted in spring. Choose sunny sites. The perennial offered here tolerates partial shade without impairing its flowering capacity. The soil should be wet, not too heavy, and rich in humus. Picturesque dahlia tufts with its pink flowers in a rare cool shade look great accompanied by lily, phlox, gladiolus, rudbeckia, hollyhock, and other summer flowers. We also recommend combining them with other double-flowered dahlia varieties, such as Avignon, Lake Ontario, Peaches and Cream, or White Aster.
