Description

These small beauties measure about 10 cm (4 inch) but will cover the shortish Dahlia 'Bluesette' plant for the latter half of summer and continue to bloom till winter’s arrival makes itself felt with early frost. The lilac pink blooms with green hearts are little gems that will give you great delight at the edge of your garden borders or as cut flowers in a smaller arrangement than normally envisaged when thinking of dahlias!

Truly decorative, this smaller Dahlia 'Bluesette' – the plant reaches about 60 cm or 2 ft tall - enjoys being planted in full sun. It is a truly prolific bloomer.

Dahlias in 60 seconds

Dahlias like full sun and a free-draining soil, and should be lifted and stored in winter, or at least protected with peat or straw. Dahlia flowers can range from 5 to 25cm in diameter and those magnificent larger-flowering dahlias might appreciate a little extra support with canes!
