{"product_id":"dahlia-sojo-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Sojo'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA little collar of petals gives \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Sojo' a wonderfully distinctive appearance. Its broad outer petals open in soft apricot, powder pink and creamy white, with the colours blending as delicately as watercolours on paper. Around the golden-yellow centre sits a second ring of smaller, beautifully shaped petals, creating the charming two-tiered effect of a collarette dahlia. The flowers can reach approximately 10–15cm across, yet their open form gives them a lightness that fuller dahlias rarely achieve. As the blooms mature, their shades may soften, allowing several subtly different combinations to appear on the same plant. Bees and other pollinating insects appreciate the accessible flower centres, too. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Sojo' is a particularly lovely way to bring gentle colour and natural movement to summer borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing to around 140–160cm, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Sojo' carries its delicate flowers high above fresh green foliage, creating an airy display among neighbouring perennials. Try it with lavender-blue salvias, pale pink cosmos and ornamental grasses, or plant several together for a generous gathering of pastel flowers. Give \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Sojo' a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil, and provide sturdy support for its tall stems. Water during dry spells and remove faded blooms regularly to encourage fresh flowers from midsummer into autumn. Start tubers under cover in spring or plant outside once frost has passed, lifting them for frost-free winter storage in colder UK gardens. For all its considerable height, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Sojo' has an appealingly delicate character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60226219999616,"sku":"DAHSOJ1TU","price":7.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60226220032384,"sku":"DAHSOJ3TU","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-sojo-00.jpg?v=1793111573","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-sojo-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
