Illuminate your garden with the vibrant hues of the decorative 'Rancho' dahlia. This distinctive variety promises to be a showstopper in any garden setting. Boasting large, double blooms that bear a striking resemblance to chrysanthemums, they captivate with their apricot-orange shade. Growing to an impressive height of 90-120 cm, the 'Rancho' dahlia is destined to be a focal point in any garden.

Thriving in both sunny and semi-shaded spots, the 'Rancho' dahlia prefers locations where it can bask in unobstructed sunlight. To ensure its robust growth, it's paramount to maintain good drainage, safeguarding the tubers from rot. Whether you're designing flower beds, edging borders, or seeking the ideal cut flower, its voluminous blooms are a sight to behold both outdoors and in ornate vases indoors.

While 'Rancho' is adaptable to a myriad of soil conditions, it truly flourishes in soil that's both permeable and fertile. As winter approaches, its sensitivity to frost necessitates some extra care. It's advisable to unearth the plant and store its tubers in a dry space, maintaining temperatures between 2-5°C. During this dormant phase, shield the rhizomes with peat, and if they appear shrivelled, a light misting of water will rejuvenate them.

For optimal results, plant the 'Rancho' dahlias between April and June. The process is straightforward: bury the tubers so they're covered with a 5 cm layer of soil, ensuring a spacing of 40-60 cm between each plant. After planting, drench the soil generously. Subsequent watering should be done as the soil begins to dry, being cautious to avoid both over-watering and letting the soil become parched.

Opt for the 'Rancho' dahlias and let your garden be a canvas of vibrant colours and unparalleled beauty. This dahlia variety promises to infuse life and vibrancy into your outdoor space, and when brought indoors, it adds a touch of nature's splendour to your decor.
