The Topmix Reddy dahlia belongs to the lowest growing varieties of that species. It blooms long and abundantly. It is a perfect plant for pots and planters, as well as for creating nice edgings. Single flowers of the presented variety consist of seven to ten bright red petals and convex yellow centres. They look spectacular on the background of the lush green foliage. A dahlia of the Topmix series develops an attractive bushy appearance and therefore looks great in compact borders and on multicolour ornamental lawns. Dwarf dahlias, those who grow up to 35 centimetres tall, adorn the garden in the second half of summer. They are usually accompanied by annual flowers as most of perennials would have already finished flowering. A Topmix Reddy dahlia  delights with its simplicity and a subtle charm.

Dahlias, irrespective of their size, should be grown in permeable soil that stays moderately moist at all times and is rich in nutrients. Take care of regular fertilizing and watering at sites where the soils are of lesser quality. You can feed the soil with compost or a slow-release multicomponent fertilizer right before planting. Avoid nitrate fertilizers that ensure abundant growth of the tufts but would not stimulate plants to produce flowers. To stimulate dahlia bushes to abundant and long lasting blooming, it is recommended to remove wilted flowers so the plant would not lose strength on producing seeds.

Dahlia will adorn your garden for years to come if you dig out its frost sensitive rootstock after the end of each season. Roughly cleaned and dried dahlia tubers should be stored in a dry, ventilated room that is well protected from frost. Storing dahlia rootstock in baskets or airy boxes, layered with peat or sawdust, proves to be most convenient. Plant the rootstock again after the last frost in spring.

Each package contains 1 piece of first choice rootstock of the Topmix Reddy dahlia. Basic plant growing instructions can be found on the package.
