Description
The plants in the 'Dahlia Cactus Hybrids Mixed' mixture display opulent cactus flowers, bristling with tightly rolled petals, in various colors. The majority of them are highly double. This selection produces flowers in a wide range of colors, perfect for bouquets. Flowering from summer to autumn, from the year of sowing, these vigorous and floriferous plants are the stars of cottage gardens and vegetable gardens. They deserve a prime spot in sunny borders.
Dahlias belong to the large asteraceae family and are originally native to the high plateaus of Mexico. At present, the some 20,000 horticultural varieties obtained by humans have invaded, to our greatest pleasure, gardens all over the world. Dahlias are classified according to the shape of their flowers. The 'Dahlia Cactus Hybrids Mixed' is classified in the category of decorative dahlias with cactus flowers. In this group, the colored ligules of the head are arranged in pompoms, they are completely rolled up on themselves and give the heads a bristly appearance. For plants of this variety, the heads reach 10 cm (3.9 in) in diameter and show different solid or gradient colors: white, yellow, orange, pink, dark pink. Flowering takes place from July to October. The plants will reach at least 1m (3.3 ft) in height, and 60 cm in width, with a bushy and erect habit. The highly branched stems are hollow and the leaves are opposite, pinnately compound, meaning they are divided into 3 or 5 leaflets, which have very denticulate lobes. The leaves and stems are dark green, a shade that enhances the color of the flowers.
To promote flowering and extend the flowering period, take care to remove faded flowers. Even better, regularly create attractive colorful bouquets by combining various varieties. The tall stature of this variety makes it suitable for the back of perennial borders, where it pairs well with pink, deep purple, and purple. The flowering of Echinaceas is perfect when accompanied by Dahlias and also by perennial salvias, for example. Also consider grasses, which have a very beautiful effect in autumn.
As the star plant of cottage gardens, Dahlias are undoubtedly beautiful flowers, they are impeccable in flower beds but can also enhance the vegetable garden. In Mexico, this tuber was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. Its poor taste qualities quickly assigned it the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
Plant Dahlias in full sun as soon as the last frost has passed, rich, fresh and well-drained soils are perfect. However, stagnant moisture would promote tuber rot. Do not hesitate to amend the soil with compost and sand if necessary. Work the soil deeply and enrich it, for example, with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. At the end of planting, water once abundantly and then renew this watering regularly during the first 6 weeks to aid in rooting.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts blacken the foliage, it is time to dig them up. Carefully unearth the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry, so that the tubers can replenish their reserves. Then cut the stems to 10 cm (3.9 in). Spread your bulbs in a box on newspaper. Store them frost-free in a dry, cool and dark place, such as a frost-free garage or an attic. In regions in the South, close to the coast, experiencing only a few days of frost per year, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, simply cover the ground with a layer of leaves or straw for protection.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
