{"product_id":"dahlia-tamburo-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Tamburo'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe closer you look at \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Tamburo', the more colour you discover. From a distance its flowers appear almost black, but sunshine reveals a rich mixture of wine-red, burgundy and deep purple along the narrow, pointed petals. Their edges roll backwards and the tips splay outwards, creating a dramatic, slightly spiky shape rather than a neat, rounded bloom. At around 11cm across, the flowers are surprisingly intricate, with darker centres that give them an almost velvety depth. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Tamburo' is a semi-cactus variety, so its blooms have a lovely sense of movement, especially when several stems sway together in a summer breeze. Against fresh green foliage, those moody colours feel all the richer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Tamburo' a place among pale apricot dahlias, silver-leaved plants or lavender-blue salvias, where its dark flowers can provide a striking contrast. Its well-sized blooms also work beautifully in a vase, adding depth to arrangements without overwhelming softer colours. Growing to roughly 80–100cm, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Tamburo' suits a sunny, sheltered border with fertile, well-drained soil. Add a little support if needed, water thoroughly during dry spells and keep picking or deadheading to encourage fresh flowers from midsummer until the first frosts. For an especially appealing display, plant several together so the different shades of burgundy and red can mingle. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Tamburo' is proof that dark flowers can bring just as much warmth to a garden as bright ones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60234694623616,"sku":"DAHTAM1TU","price":5.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60234694656384,"sku":"DAHTAM3TU","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 tubers","offer_id":60234694689152,"sku":"DAHTAM6TU","price":29.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-tamburo-00.jpg?v=1793714400","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-tamburo-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
