Description

Dahlia - Diablo Mixed is a dwarf bedding selection which has stunning double blooms and a deep bronze foliage. These Dahlias are fast growing, long lasting and will make an outstanding addition to your garden either in your borders, beds or patio.

Dahlias are easy to grow from seed and they continue to flower into late autumn providing colour and interest when most other summer flowers have faded or run to seed.

When to sow Indoors February to May.
Where to sow Sow on the surface of moist compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. 
Place in a warm position (temperature of 18 to 20°C (65 to 68°F) is ideal) or place in a heated propagator.
Keep the compost moist and do not exclude light as this helps germination.
What to do next Once germination takes place, move into cooler conditions to grow on.
Once the risk of frost has passed, harden off for 7 to 10 days and then transplant seedlings into final growing position planting them 30cm (12in) apart. 
Protect young seedlings from slugs and snails.
  Keep well watered especially during dry periods.
Flowering period July to October.
Handy tips Deadheading flowers will prolong the flowering season.
After the first frosts when the foliage has died back, remove the tubers from the ground, place in a cardboard box and store in a garage or greenhouse to 'overwinter'. Replant the following spring once the risk of frost has passed.
Uses Great for growing in beds, borders, containers and as a cut flower.
Height 40cm (16in)
Spread 30cm (12in)
