Description
Happy-go-lucky Dahlia 'Pooh Swan Island' is sure to put a smile on your face with its glowing orange-red and yellow collarette blooms. Flowering profusely throughout summer, this bright dahlia will stop you in your tracks every time you walk past, and when you take a look up close you’ll see some fantastic details, from attractive yellow tipped petals to the dainty ruffled central collar. Just like Winnie the Pooh’s honey pot, this single-flowered variety is an absolute bee-magnet too!
The bright green leaves of Dahlia 'Pooh Swan Island' form the perfect contrasting backdrop for the flowers to stand out, and forming dense, bushy plants, you’ll be rewarded with a bold display of blooms which just keep on coming right through to autumn. With a long vase life and boho colouring, you can use these spectacular flowers to create fantastic indoor arrangements too.
