Dahlia ‘Diva Us’ is a striking small-flowered decorative variety, showcasing rich, velvety petals in deep crimson and magenta tones with a bold purple centre. Its compact, full blooms have a sculpted, layered form that adds elegance and drama to any planting scheme. Ideal for borders, pots, or vibrant cut flower arrangements, this variety holds its shape well and brings vivid, long-lasting colour from midsummer onwards.
A perfect choice for gardeners looking to introduce depth and contrast to their displays. Plant in full sun in well-drained, fertile soil, and remove spent flowers to encourage more growth.

Supplied as tubers, the best time to plant is in April and May. To plant them, dig a hole at least 20-30cm square and around 20-30cm deep for each one. Cover the base of the hole with 10cms of compost, or manure and give it a good dousing with a full watering can and then plant the dahlia at a depth of 15-20cm. You will need a stout stake, not just a bamboo cane, to support each plant and it is a good idea to knock this in first and then place the plant by its side. It will need to be lifted in winter - once the foliage dies back simply dig it up and store in a cool, frost free location.
