{"product_id":"dahlia-garden-desire-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Garden Desire'","description":"\u003cp\u003eColour has a lovely way of travelling across the petals of \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Garden Desire'. Each flower opens in warm salmon-orange, softening to apricot and pale golden yellow at the tips, while little flashes of brighter yellow glow near the centre. The petals overlap in generous, slightly irregular layers, giving the fully double decorative blooms a relaxed, almost hand-painted finish. At around 10–11cm across, they're surprisingly substantial for a plant that reaches only 40–50cm tall. A succession of blooms appears from midsummer into autumn, with fresh green foliage providing a pleasing backdrop for all those peachy shades. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Garden Desire' has an easy warmth that makes a summer planting feel instantly inviting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat compact habit is exactly what makes \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Garden Desire' so useful. Group several plants at the front of a border for a lovely sweep of colour, or give them a generous patio pot where you can enjoy the shifting shades up close. Lavender-blue salvias, pale cream flowers and wispy grasses make particularly lovely neighbours. Grow \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Garden Desire' in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil, watering containers regularly in dry weather. Remove faded flowers to encourage new buds, and start tubers under cover in spring or plant outside after the last frosts. Lift and store them somewhere frost-free in colder UK gardens. For such a modest-sized dahlia, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Garden Desire' brings a wonderfully generous helping of summer colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60223299977600,"sku":"DAHGARDES1TU","price":5.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60223300010368,"sku":"DAHGARDES3TU","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 tubers","offer_id":60223300043136,"sku":"DAHGARDES6TU","price":29.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-garden-desire-1.jpg?v=1793097787","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-garden-desire-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
