- Originally from Japan, Dahlia 'Tsuki-Yori-No-Shisha' is an exquisite white semi-cactus dahlia with a beautiful purity to it
- This striking dahlia has huge flowers (up to 20cm across), with petals that are divided at the tip to provide a feathery appearance
- Dahlias are ideal for cut flowers in your home and are easy to grow and quick to mature
What you need to know:
- 1 x Dahlia 'Tsuki-Yori-No-Shisha' (2 Tubers)
- Height: 100cm
- Prefers full sun
- Planting time: Spring, when there are no signs of late night frosts
- Flowering period: Summer
- In mild areas with free-draining soil, Dahlia tubers can be left to overwinter in the ground or pots, but in colder areas lift and store to protect them from the worst winter weather. Do this as soon as the first frosts have burnt the leaves back. Then cut back the top-growth to 15cm (6in) and lift the plants from the ground. As much soil as possible is cleaned off, before trimming any straggly, fine roots. Store them in boxes of dry compost to overwinter them in the garage, although any cool but frost-free place would do. The tubers are replanted in the spring once the danger of frosts has passed
- Ensure Dahlias are watered daily during dry spells. Do not water over winter
