Dahlia 'Maggiore Deep Rose' – Summer Flowering Perennial (3L Pot)

Dahlia 'Maggiore Deep Rose' is a patio dahlia grown for large, open, daisy like blooms, flowering from midsummer through to the first frosts.

Plants make a compact clump around 40cm to 60cm tall and 40cm to 50cm across, with large, open, daisy like blooms that bees and other pollinators can reach on strong stems. The neat, bushy clump sits well at the front of a sunny border or in a patio pot, and flowers keep coming right through to the first frosts.

Give it a sunny, sheltered spot in fertile soil that stays moist but drains freely, and water regularly through the growing season, especially in a container. Deadhead spent blooms to keep the flowering going. It is not fully hardy, so lift the tubers once frost has blackened the top growth and store them somewhere cool and frost free, or mulch deeply where winters are mild. Supplied as one established plant in a 3L pot, grown in peat free compost at our Yorkshire nursery. All parts may cause severe discomfort if eaten and the sap can irritate skin.
