Dahlia coccinea stands out as a robust species, boasting tall, sturdy stems and consistent flowering performance. Dahlia coccinea ‘Victoriana Mix’ offers a rich tapestry of vibrant hues, comprising both solid shades and captivating bi-color combinations. From deep reds to brilliant magentas, and from oranges to apricots, yellows, pinks, primroses, and whites, this mix offers a wide spectrum of tones.

The charming 2-inch single flowers have an old-fashioned allure, appealing especially to gardeners who prefer subtlety over the flamboyance of modern hybrids. Their unassuming elegance allows for effortless integration into perennial borders, ideal for filling in gaps and providing late-season bursts of colour. Moreover, Dahlia coccinea ‘Victoriana Mix’ proves to be an excellent choice for creating striking vase arrangements. Height: 120cm (48in). Spread: 60cm (24in).

Plant garden-ready Dahlias outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost.

Feed and water dahlias regularly throughout the growing season. While plants are still young, pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage bushier growth and masses of flowers. As dahlias develop, the taller varieties will require staking with garden canes to support their stems. Deadhead faded dahlia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. With the first autumn frosts, remove tubers from their growing positions and trim away the old stems to 5cm above the tuber. Clean any remaining soil from the tubers and store them over winter in trays of peat or sand, in a cool but frost free position. The tubers can be planted the following spring for another fabulous display.
