Description
Let Dahlia 'Bacardi' dance a spirited samba through your summer borders! With coral-coloured petals streaked with hot pink, and a dark, sultry burgundy centre, this fun dahlia bursts onto the scene with a swish of its skirts and a flash of melodrama. The riot of hot colours is topped off with a zingy lime-green eye, so we think it would partner perfectly with Phlox 'Green Lion' to make the colours pop—either in your borders or in the cutting garden, for a steady supply of thrilling late summer bouquets.
Start your dahlia tubers off under cover in mid spring, or plant them out direct when all risk of frost has passed in your area. Despite their luxurious looks, dahlias aren't too fussy when it comes to maintenance. Just give your Dahlia 'Bacardi' a position in full sun, a fertile and well-drained soil, and plenty of water in dry spells, and they will romp away producing a carnival of colour all the way up to the first frosts.
