{"product_id":"dahlia-valentino-tubers-uk","title":"Dahlia 'Valentino'","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoft pink rather than scarlet, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Valentino' has a gentler interpretation of its romantic name. Its beautifully filled flowers unfold in delicate shades of shell pink and pale salmon, with a warm peach glow that becomes especially lovely in the late-afternoon light. Broad, overlapping petals form generous decorative blooms, their softly rounded shape giving the flowers an easy elegance rather than a rigid, perfectly arranged appearance. Some blooms lean towards blush, while others reveal warmer apricot tones, creating a subtle mixture of colours throughout the season. Measuring around 10–15cm across, the flowers have plenty of presence without overwhelming their neighbours. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Valentino' grows to approximately 80–85cm, a useful height for bringing gentle colour to the middle of a summer border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Valentino' to mingle with lavender-blue salvias, cream cosmos and fine ornamental grasses, or plant several together for a generous sweep of romantic pink. Its flowers are also lovely for cutting, where their blush and salmon tones sit naturally alongside deeper rose and plum shades. Give \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Valentino' a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil, allowing enough space for its bushy growth. Water during dry spells and remove fading blooms regularly to encourage a fresh succession of flowers well into autumn. A discreet support can help keep flower-laden stems upright, particularly in more exposed borders. For a summer display that feels romantic without being overly sweet, \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Valentino' finds just the right balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmer Gracy","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber","offer_id":60234722181504,"sku":"DAHVAL1TU","price":6.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 tubers","offer_id":60234722214272,"sku":"DAHVAL3TU","price":17.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 tubers","offer_id":60234722247040,"sku":"DAHVAL6TU","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1308\/3047\/files\/dahlia-valentino-1.jpg?v=1793718816","url":"https:\/\/www.farmergracy.co.uk\/products\/dahlia-valentino-tubers-uk","provider":"Farmer Gracy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
