{"product_id":"dahlia-ambition-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Ambition'","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eSome dahlias favour neat symmetry; \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Ambition' prefers a little exuberance. Its magenta-purple flowers are a glorious tangle of narrow, curling petals, each one split at the tip into tiny fringes. This is a fimbriated cactus dahlia, a name that sounds rather technical for something so delightfully unruly. With blooms reaching up to 15cm across, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Ambition' has plenty of presence, yet the finely textured petals give the flowers a surprisingly light, almost feathery quality. They keep appearing from midsummer into autumn, bringing a generous splash of colour just when earlier summer favourites begin to fade. Reaching around 90cm tall, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Ambition' is made for the lovely, slightly wild abundance of a late-season border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a particular pleasure in pairing \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Ambition' with dusky plum salvias, wine-coloured dahlias and airy ornamental grasses. Those rich purple tones look equally good against softer pinks, if you prefer a more relaxed combination. Grow it in a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil, or give it a generous container on the patio. Regular watering in dry weather and removing spent flowers will help keep the display coming, while discreet support is useful once stems are carrying their full summer finery. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Ambition' also makes an excellent cut flower, bringing its wonderfully tousled character indoors. Start tubers under cover in spring or plant out once the risk of frost has passed, and lift them for frost-free winter storage in colder areas. A little preparation, rewarded with months of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60184344854912,"sku":"DAHAMB1TU","price":4.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60184344887680,"sku":"DAHAMB3TU","price":11.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 tubers","offer_id":60184344920448,"sku":"DAHAMB6TU","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-ambition-1.jpg?v=1792751232","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-ambition-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
