Embrace the allure of Dahlia 'Melody Mambo', a radiant variety that graces your garden from early summer to late autumn. This low-growing decorative specimen stands at a modest height of 40-50 cm, making it an ideal choice for home gardens and plots alike. Its lush, dark green foliage serves as the perfect backdrop for its striking red flowers, which can reach up to 12 cm in diameter. Whether you're looking to accentuate a border or complement a rock garden, 'Melody Mambo' is a versatile addition that brings both colour and character.

Being thermophilic in nature, Dahlias like 'Melody Mambo' should only be planted after the risk of spring frost has passed. For those eager to get a head start, consider planting the tubers in pots indoors. Once planted just below the soil surface, these dahlias appreciate a generous initial watering and a warm, well-lit environment.

For optimal growth and flowering, select a sunny, wind-sheltered location. While the plant can tolerate semi-shade, its blooms are most vibrant in full sun. The soil should be loose, well-drained, and either neutral or slightly alkaline. Regular watering is essential, particularly when the soil starts to dry. To support its lush growth and stunning blooms, it's advisable to fertilise 'Melody Mambo' 2-3 times during the growing season, using a multi-component fertiliser.

It's important to note that Dahlias are not frost-resistant. After the first frost, the tuberous roots must be dug up, cleaned, and dried. Store these in a cool, dry room, ideally in a box filled with sand or sawdust, until it's time for spring replanting.
