{"product_id":"dahlia-bodacious-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Bodacious'","description":"\u003cp\u003eSubtlety is not on the agenda for \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Bodacious'. Its enormous, dinnerplate-sized flowers are a blaze of orange-red, with bright yellow edges and undersides that flicker into view as the petals twist and curl. Rather than forming a perfectly ordered rosette, the broad, irregularly arranged petals give each bloom a lively, almost flame-like appearance. Some flowers are more crimson, while others reveal generous streaks of gold, so no two seem quite the same. Reaching up to 28 cm across in favourable conditions, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Bodacious' has the scale to hold its own among towering late-summer perennials. Pair it with deep burgundy foliage, copper-coloured grasses or rich purple flowers for a planting scheme with plenty of energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Bodacious' to make its presence felt at the back of a sunny border, where its tall, leafy stems can reach around 1–1.5m. Those magnificent flower heads are heavy, so place sturdy supports early in the season and choose a sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil. From midsummer into autumn, regular deadheading encourages another succession of richly coloured blooms. For a dramatic arrangement, cut \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Bodacious' when the flowers are fully open and combine them with simple greenery, allowing their extraordinary colouring to take centre stage. The changing play of red and yellow becomes even more fascinating when admired up close. Few dahlias wear their name quite so convincingly: \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Bodacious' is bold, exuberant and impossible to overlook.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60241448010112,"sku":"DAHBOD1TU","price":4.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60241448042880,"sku":"DAHBOD3TU","price":12.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 tubers","offer_id":60241448075648,"sku":"DAHBOD6TU","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-bodacious-6.jpg?v=1793798369","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-bodacious-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
