Introducing Dahlia 'Ziva', a recent addition to our collection that is sure to captivate with its sumptuous, dark red blooms and contrasting, decorative foliage. Standing at a medium height, this dahlia offers a touch of elegance and a splash of rich colour, making it a perfect choice for those seeking to elevate their garden's aesthetic. The deep, velvety red of the flowers, coupled with the dark leaves, lends itself beautifully to more formal areas of your flowerbeds. Dahlia 'Ziva' promises to be a reliable showstopper from mid-summer until the first chills of autumn arrive.

Not only is this dahlia a garden gem, but it also excels as a cut flower. Its long vase life and striking colour make it an ideal candidate for unforgettable bouquets and container arrangements.

For optimal growth, Dahlias prefer a sunny, wind-protected location and well-drained soil rich in humus. Prior to planting, it's advisable to enrich the soil with compost to meet the plant's nutritional needs. Throughout the growing season, a balanced, low-nitrogen fertiliser will encourage blooming over leaf growth. Regular removal of spent blooms will also prolong the flowering period.

Being thermophilic, Dahlias do not overwinter outdoors. After the first significant temperature drop, it's essential to trim back the stems, dig up the tubers, and store them in a frost-free environment. An airy container filled with sawdust or peat is ideal for storage, and the temperature should remain just above freezing.

This Large Pack includes 10 first-choice Dahlia 'Ziva' tubers. Each package is labelled with essential information on plant care and characteristics, ensuring you have all the knowledge you need for successful cultivation.
