Taylors Bulbs - Lake Ontario Dahlia Variety

Bringing a vibrant look to your outdoor space, this Dahlia variety has a special ability to change colour as the blooms develop, with new flowers appearing throughout the summer months.

Each flower starts off with beautiful sunshine yellow petals which have a red outline - as the bloom develops, the petals begin to reveal red streaks from their tip to create an ombre effect. With an overall height of almost 90cm, Lake Ontario is the perfect way to add colour and variety to your beds and borders.

Key Information:

• Flowering height of 90cm
• Colour changing blooms
• Produces flowers all summer long

Advice & Tips:

• Plant in late spring once the risk of frost has passed, in a location with plenty of sun.
• Tubers should be planted in the ground approximately 15cm deep, with approximately 60cm between dahlia tubers.
• Dahlias like to be well-watered, but not waterlogged, so their soil needs good drainage.
• After the flowers have died down, lift the tubers and store in a frost-free location in dry compost until the Spring, or leave in the ground and cover with mulch in the winter months if in a mild location.
