{"product_id":"dahlia-taxi-driver-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Taxi Driver'","description":"\u003cp\u003eYellow flowers have seldom looked quite so dramatic. Against a dense cushion of almost-black, finely divided leaves, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Taxi Driver' raises a lively scattering of bright, daisy-like blooms. Each has a simple ring of lemon-yellow petals, sometimes warmed with a faint orange blush, surrounding a chocolate-brown eye that gradually brightens with golden pollen. At around 4–6cm across, the flowers are petite, but the contrast gives them all the presence they need. The slender, dark stems echo the bronze-purple foliage, making the whole plant attractive even between flushes of flowers. Part of the Dark Angel series, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Taxi Driver' stays neatly compact at around 30–40cm tall, while its open centres offer bees and butterflies an easy place to feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Taxi Driver' a generous pot on the patio or plant several together along the front of a border, where their cheerful yellow flowers can glow against deeper greens. The dark foliage looks particularly lovely beside silver-leaved plants, soft lavender flowers and lime-green grasses. A sunny, sheltered position and fertile, well-drained soil will keep \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Taxi Driver' happy; water containers regularly in dry weather and remove spent flowers to encourage fresh buds. Unlike taller dahlias, its sturdy, bushy habit rarely requires staking, making it a pleasingly straightforward choice for smaller spaces. Flowering through summer and into autumn, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Taxi Driver' brings a little brightness to every corner without demanding the starring role.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60234690036096,"sku":"DAHTAXDRI1TU","price":6.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60234690068864,"sku":"DAHTAXDRI3TU","price":17.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 tubers","offer_id":60234690101632,"sku":"DAHTAXDRI6TU","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-taxi-driver-5.png?v=1793712873","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-taxi-driver-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
