{"product_id":"dahlia-dolce-vera-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Dolce Vera'","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome flowers make their impression with colour alone, but \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Dolce Vera' has a little more going on. Its generously layered decorative blooms blend old-rose pink and warm apricot, while the tightly gathered inner petals deepen towards plum-purple. That darker heart gives each flower an unexpected sense of depth, particularly as the softer outer petals catch the afternoon light. The colouring is wonderfully changeable: one bloom may lean towards coral, another towards dusky raspberry. Measuring around 10–15cm across, the flowers are beautifully proportioned for cutting, with broad, overlapping petals that create a full but relaxed shape. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Dolce Vera' grows to approximately 100–120cm, bringing its distinctive colours to the garden from midsummer into autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Dolce Vera' with coppery grasses, pale apricot dahlias or deep burgundy foliage, which echoes the flower's rich centre. Its long stems also make it a lovely choice for bouquets, where those shifting shades bring character to even a simple arrangement. Plant \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Dolce Vera' in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position, adding support before the stems become heavy with flowers. Water during dry spells and pick or deadhead regularly to encourage more buds. Start tubers under cover in spring, or plant outside once the last frosts have passed. In colder UK gardens, lift and store them somewhere frost-free over winter. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Dolce Vera' has the sort of colour that rewards a second look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60221096558976,"sku":"DAHDOLVER1TU","price":6.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60221096591744,"sku":"DAHDOLVER3TU","price":17.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-dolce-vera-00.jpg?v=1793094132","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-dolce-vera-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
