Introducing the enchanting 'Sandra' dahlia, a bulbous perennial that graces gardens with its delightful candy-pink blossoms. Standing proudly between 90 to 120 cm, this plant is adorned with medium-sized pompom inflorescences. The intricately layered petals, curled into tubes, give the flower a honeycomb-like appearance, adding a touch of nature's architecture to your garden.
The monochromatic charm of the 'Sandra' dahlia offers a simple yet effective way to beautify home flower beds, borders, and pots. Its candy-pink hue harmoniously complements whites, purples, burgundies, and light blues, while also providing a striking contrast when paired with oranges or yellows. Beyond its visual appeal, the 'Sandra' dahlia serves as a splendid seasonal cut flower, perfect for bouquets and special occasion arrangements.
While dahlias are adaptable to various soil types, they thrive best in fertile, well-drained soil. A sunny spot, shielded from strong winds, coupled with consistently moist soil, will ensure a profusion of buds. Given their vigorous growth, dahlias benefit from regular fertilisation throughout their blooming season. It's essential to monitor soil moisture, as these beauties are sensitive to water scarcity and can wilt swiftly. To promote continuous blooming, it's advisable to deadhead spent flowers, channelling the plant's energy towards growth and new bud production.
In temperate climates, dahlias require some winter care. Their tubers should be excavated post-season and stored in a frost-free environment. Storing them in boxes filled with peat, sawdust, or sand proves effective in preserving their vitality for the next season.
This generous pack offers 10 first-choice 'Sandra' dahlia tubers. Each tuber comes with a label detailing essential cultivation information, ensuring you have the guidance needed for a flourishing display.
