{"product_id":"dahlia-extase-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Extase'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere's something wonderfully cheerful about \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Extase', with its generous flowers in a delicious blend of salmon pink, soft apricot and warm golden yellow. Each bloom opens with a glowing yellow centre, surrounded by layers of slender, pointed petals that gradually deepen towards the tips. As the flowers mature, their colouring softens, creating a lovely mixture of shades across the plant. The petals curl gently along their edges, giving the blooms a lively, slightly spiky silhouette without losing their beautifully rounded shape. Reaching approximately 15cm across, the flowers are surprisingly generous for such a compact plant. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Extase' typically grows to around 45–60cm, producing an abundance of colour from midsummer until the first autumn frosts. It's a particularly appealing combination of big flowers and manageable proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat compact growth makes \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Extase' a natural choice for patio pots, raised beds and the front of sunny borders. Its warm, sunset-inspired colouring looks lovely alongside purple salvias, soft pink cosmos and the fine textures of ornamental grasses. The flowers are also delightful for cutting, bringing their gentle shades of peach and apricot into summer arrangements. Give \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Extase' fertile, well-drained soil and water regularly during dry spells, especially when growing in containers. Removing faded flowers will encourage new buds to develop throughout the season. Start the tubers under cover in spring or plant outdoors once frost has passed, lifting them for frost-free winter storage in colder UK gardens. With \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Extase', a little space goes a surprisingly long way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60223023513984,"sku":"DAHEXT1TU","price":4.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60223023546752,"sku":"DAHEXT3TU","price":12.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 tubers","offer_id":60223023579520,"sku":"DAHEXT6TU","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-extase-1.jpg?v=1793096291","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-extase-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
