{"product_id":"dahlia-april-heather-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'April Heather'","description":"\u003cp\u003eApricot, blush pink and the palest lemon yellow come together beautifully in \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'April Heather'. Its delicate collarette flowers have a single ring of broad outer petals, softly washed with rosy pink over a warm, creamy-yellow base. Inside sits a charming little collar of shorter, pale yellow petals tipped with white, surrounding a golden centre that visiting bees can easily explore. The effect is wonderfully light and intricate, almost like a flower wearing a second, smaller flower around its heart. Measuring approximately 10–12cm across, the blooms are carried on long stems above fresh green foliage, creating a graceful display that moves gently with the breeze. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'April Heather' has earned an RHS Award of Garden Merit, and its beautifully understated colouring makes it easy to understand why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than planting \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'April Heather' among equally bold flowers, try giving its subtle shades room to breathe. It looks lovely alongside pale purple salvias, airy ornamental grasses and creamy cosmos, where its open flower form brings a natural sense of movement. Growing to around 100–125cm, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'April Heather' appreciates a sunny, sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil, with support for its slender stems. The flowers are also excellent for cutting, bringing a relaxed, freshly gathered look to summer bouquets. Water during dry spells and remove faded blooms regularly to encourage fresh flowers until the first frosts. Start tubers under cover in spring or plant outside once frost has passed, lifting them for frost-free winter storage in colder UK gardens. A beautiful choice for a garden that celebrates the softer side of summer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60226072150400,"sku":"DAHAPRHEA1TU","price":6.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60226072183168,"sku":"DAHAPRHEA3TU","price":17.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-april-heather-00.jpg?v=1793114563","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-april-heather-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
