Dahlia Velvet Crush 18 cm

A firework display in a pot. 🎆 'Velvet Crush' delivers deep, saturated, velvety blooms that light up balconies, patios and borders all summer long.

A little history

Dahlias first reached Europe in 1789, when seeds were sent from Mexico to the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid. From that single introduction, gardeners bred the thousands of forms and colours we know today — with rich, jewel-toned varieties like this one among the most prized.

Care

• Light: Sun, sun and a little more sun — at least 6 hours a day.
• Water: Water regularly so the soil stays evenly moist, especially while budding.
• Grooming: Snip off spent blooms and it will push out fresh ones for weeks.
• Winter: Frost-tender — lift the tuber or protect it before winter.

Plant it, sit back and enjoy the show. 💥
