Introducing Dahlia 'Double Shine', a towering variety that boasts vibrant, dual-coloured blooms. Its robust stems are adorned with luxuriant, feathery green leaves and grand, decorative flowers. The blooms are a striking amalgamation of amaranth pink encircling a deep yellow core. Adding a touch of elegance, the petals' silvery undersides beautifully offset the vivid hues. The unique tubular form of the petals bestows the flowers with an extraordinary silhouette. This dahlia variety, with its tropical kaleidoscope of colours, is an excellent choice for standalone plantings on lawns or as decorative rows against building walls. Its sturdy, upright stems also make 'Double Shine' an ideal candidate for summer bouquets.

For optimal growth, select a location that is either sun-drenched or partially shaded and shielded from strong winds that could damage the delicate, tall stems. While tolerant of various soil types, 'Double Shine' thrives in fertile, well-drained, moisture-retentive soil. Plant the tubers in spring, post-frost, for best results. To expedite blooming, consider pot cultivation; such seedlings can bloom up to three weeks earlier than their ground-planted counterparts. Come winter, the tubers should be dug up and stored in a cool, frost-free environment, ideally nestled in sawdust, peat, or dry sand. Periodic checks for rot and fungal growth are advisable.

The GIGA Pack includes 50 first-choice 'Double Shine' dahlias. Each product label provides essential information on the plant's cultivation and characteristics, ensuring a successful and rewarding gardening experience.
