{"product_id":"dahlia-silver-antique-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Silver Antique'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe softest colours can be the hardest to describe, and \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Silver Antique' is a lovely example. Its beautifully rounded flowers open in creamy ivory-white, with a delicate silvery sheen that lends each bloom an almost porcelain-like appearance. Broad outer petals overlap in generous layers, while smaller, gently cupped petals gather around a softly glowing cream centre. Depending on the light, the flowers can appear almost pure white or reveal the faintest hint of blush, giving them a wonderfully subtle, antique character. Measuring around 12–13cm across, these fully double decorative blooms are substantial without feeling oversized. Carried on upright stems above fresh green foliage, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Silver Antique' brings a lovely sense of calm to the colourful late-summer garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few stems of \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Silver Antique' make a beautiful starting point for a bouquet, where its gentle colouring complements dusty pinks, lavender and soft green foliage. In borders, try it alongside deep purple salvias, airy ornamental grasses or richer burgundy dahlias, allowing those pale flowers to bring light into the planting. Growing to around 100–110cm, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Silver Antique' appreciates a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil and support for its flowering stems. Water during dry spells and pick or remove faded blooms regularly to encourage fresh flowers from midsummer until autumn frosts. Start the tubers under cover in spring or plant outside once frost has passed, lifting them for frost-free winter storage in colder UK gardens. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Silver Antique' proves that a gentle colour can leave a lasting impression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60226620260736,"sku":"DAHSILANT1TU","price":6.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60226620293504,"sku":"DAHSILANT3TU","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-silver-antique-1.jpg?v=1793107438","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-silver-antique-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
