Dahlia Pooh Collerette
Availability: Out of stock
Collarette Pooh is part of a range of Collarette Dahlias with a single row of outer flat petals, and a collar of shorter florets. The blooms are a mix of red, amber and yellow which surround the decorative centre balls which are a magnet for bees. The blooms are showy and make an excellent choice for sunny borders and patio pots. They also make the perfect cut flower for indoor displays as they have a great vase life. 1 ready to plant tuber.
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 15cms. You may 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. Plant in a sunny spot and keep moist yet well-drained. 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.
