Description

The Dahlia 'Selina' is a variety of cactus dahlia with bright pink flowers that blooms from July to October.

This perennial has swollen tuberous roots. Gathered in bundles, these tubers produce upright, hollow and ramified stems, bearing compound leaves with rounded leaflets. Solid, fleshy stalks, 1m (3ft) tall, are topped with wide, flat, rather incurved ligulate flowers, 15cm (6in) in diameter, in bright pink.

The Dahlia 'Selina' grows best in rich, clayey but healthy soil, deeply worked, in a warm and sunny location, sheltered from prevailing winds. It languishes in poor and sandy soils.

The Dahlia 'Selina' is used in mixed flower beds or for making bouquets.

Tips: When planting, take into account the dimensions for the composition of your flower beds.

Planting and care

The Dahlia 'Selina' should be planted from mid-April to early May, at a depth of 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) and with a spacing of 60cm (24in). Always provide support stakes and loosely tie the young stems. Add slow-release compost or organic fertiliser during planting and liquid fertiliser every month during the growing season. Water without wetting the foliage. There is no need to remove buds on this variety. Treat against aphids and slugs. Dig up the tubers before the frost, cutting the stems to 15cm (6in) from the stump. Store them in a cool, well-ventilated, dark place that is not too damp. Transplant them in early May when there is no longer a risk of frost.
