The Emory Paul dahlia belongs to varieties that produce the largest, broadest flowers. Woven of broad, sharp-tipped petals with wavy edges, these flowers measure 30 to 35 centimetres in diameter. Flowers that tower atop strong stems resemble pink fluffy clouds. Emory Paul beats its competitors with the impression it makes on the onlookers. The 90 to 120 centimetres tall dahlia tuft is a great candidate to become a focal point of a composition. Tall dahlia with huge flowers is also a great addition to border backgrounds and plantings near building corners. Presented dahlia supplies great materials for bouquets too. Even single flowers can adorn a room on their own.

Dahlia can develop in the most types of soil, yet it grows best in fertile and permeable soil. Providing dahlia with a sunny site that is sheltered from violent wind gusts and a constantly yet moderately moist site stimulates the plant to produce flower buds. It requires fertilizing every few weeks all season long as a lavishly growing species. Dahlia is also sensitive to water shortage in the soil - they quickly react with withering, so regular monitoring of soil humidity is a must. To achieve the optimal results, we also recommend removing wilted flower heads. It helps the plant save energy and allows to spend it on producing and developing of new buds.

Dahlia belongs to species that require protection from lower temperatures. In Central European climate dahlia rootstock should be excavated and stored in rooms where temperature would not drop below the freezing point. Boxes and containers filled with peat, sawdust, or and are perfect for that purpose.
