Illuminate your garden with the vibrant hues of the 'Rancho' decorative dahlia. This standout variety promises to be a radiant focal point in any garden setting. Boasting large, double blooms reminiscent of 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 showstopper.

Thriving in both sunny and semi-shaded spots, the 'Rancho' dahlia requires a space free from overshadowing plants. While it's robust in many ways, ensuring good drainage is paramount to prevent its tubers from rotting. Whether you're designing flower beds, lining borders, or seeking the perfect cut flower, its voluminous blooms are a sight to behold in gardens and vases alike.

While 'Rancho' is adaptable to various soil types, it flourishes in soil that's both permeable and fertile. As winter approaches, its frost-sensitive nature 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.

Planting 'Rancho' dahlias is best undertaken 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.

Embrace the 'Rancho' dahlia and let your garden bask in a kaleidoscope of colour. 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.
