Taylors Bulbs - Motto Dahlia Tubers

This Dinner Plate Dahlia variety is a great way to add colour and height to your garden, growing to almost one metre tall and producing stunning orange blooms all summer long.

Flower heads can grow to an approximate diameter of up to 20cm, making this Dahlia an eye-catching variety for beds, borders and even containers for smaller garden spaces, even more so when other flowers have died down in the autumn. Each of the dark orange petals has a slight curl and features a bright yellow base, creating a sunset effect and bringing a warm feel to your garden space.

Key Information:

• Flowering height of 100cm
• Dark orange and yellow blooms create a sunset effect
• Each petal is slightly curved with a pointed tip

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.
