Dahlia Tartan is a variety that attracts not only pollinating insects, but all the looks of garden guests too. Its impressive, extraordinary flowers in a contrasting colour combination are the perfect material for the focal point of a garden composition. Tartan dahlia flowers in the second half of summer and lets you enjoy its charm until the autumn cold. Distinct burgundy-and-white colouring of this variety bring unique chic and elegance to a flower bed in your garden. Tartan variety, a representative of the decorative dahlias, produces flowers that are packed with slightly twisted, overlapping petals. Those impressive, 20 to 25 centimetres wide flowers magnificently decorate the garden, whether covering a wall, fence, or hedge. You can also plant this up to 120-centimetres tall dahlia in a large planter on a balcony or terrace. Dahlia delivers valuable cut flowers for home bouquets and more sophisticated compositions.

Dahlia blooms profusely at a sunny place. Plants of this species have high soil and nutritional requirements. Plant dahlia's tuberous roots in fertile, humous soil with a light structure. The reaction of the soil should be neutral or slightly alkaline, as dahlias do not tolerate acidic soils. Water and fertilize plants regularly throughout the growing season. Dahlias are sensitive to low temperatures. That is why they are planted quite late, and in autumn you have to dig out tubers and store them in rooms where temperature remains over the freezing point.

Each package contains one first quality dahlia seedling. Basic plant facts and a growing guide were included in the product information on the packaging label.
