The dahlia sold under the commercial label New Orange (Dahlia) immediately draws the eye with its intense orange flowers. It forms large, fully double flower heads that provide a strong colour accent in summer borders. Its elegant shape and distinctive presence suit both traditional and contemporary garden compositions. This commercial selection brings a warm, sunlit colour to the garden throughout its flowering season.

Planting Time

Dahlia tubers are sensitive to frost, so they should be planted outdoors in spring once the risk of low temperatures has passed. The best planting period is from April to May. Starting the tubers earlier in pots indoors can bring growth and flowering forward slightly.

Planting Depth

Plant the tubers about 5-10 cm deep, measured from the top of the tuber to the soil surface. Correct placement gives the emerging shoots a stable base. The soil should be fertile and freely draining to support healthy early growth.

Spacing

The vigorous growth and broad habit require sufficient room. A spacing of 40-60 cm allows the plants to develop evenly and display their large, fully double flower heads.

Height

New Orange reaches about 80-100 cm in height. It fits well in the middle or back of a border, where it forms a colourful backdrop for lower perennials and annuals.

Flowering Period

Flowering begins in July and continues until October. The intense orange blooms open in succession, maintaining a warm colour accent through summer and into early autumn.

Overwintering

Dahlias originate from warmer climates and are not reliably frost hardy. After the first autumn frost has damaged the foliage, lift the tubers carefully. Clean and dry them, then store them until spring in a cool, frost-free place, covered with peat or sawdust.

Uses

New Orange can serve as a strong colour accent in a range of garden designs. It is suitable for planting in the ground and for large containers on terraces or balconies. The cut flowers retain their intense colour and work well in summer arrangements indoors.
