Description
Dahlia 'Table Dancer' has ligulate petals that are tapered and end in forked points, giving the inflorescence a neatly tousled appearance. Its medium-sized inflorescences are dotted with white on a light violet to lilac base, with the centre of the flower showing a darker tone. This elegant variety is easy to pair with any flowering plant. It will bloom in sunny flower beds from July until the first frost, if faded flowers are regularly removed. Its flowers are perfect in any bouquet.
Dahlias belong to the Asteraceae family and are originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. There are currently thousands of horticultural varieties that have conquered gardens worldwide. They are tender perennials with fleshy tubers.
'Table Dancer' will reach up to 1.2m (4ft) in height if the plant grows freely, or about 1m (3ft) if pinched during growth. It has a spread of 60cm (24in). It is classified as a fimbriated dahlia, a horticultural category defined by the shape of the flower. In this group, the ends of the petals are forked. Flowering begins in July and ends in October-November. The heads measure 12 to 15cm (5 to 6in) in diameter, with deep mauve to violet ligules marked with white at their ends. The habit is bushy and erect, and the highly branched stems are hollow. Its leaves are opposite and pinnately compound, meaning they divide into 3 or 5 strongly toothed lobes. The leaves and stems are medium green.
Remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms. You can use cut flowers to make colourful bouquets, combining them with other varieties.
'Table Dancer' will be enhanced by brightly coloured or pastel flowers. It pairs particularly well with purple and pink blooms, especially those of repeat-flowering roses (Rosa 'The Fairy', R. Pink Knock Out) or asters. In a flower bed, it will perfectly match red or bright pink penstemons, perennial Geranium 'Blue Cloud' or G. 'Rozanne', pink echinaceas, heleniums, cosmos, and cleomes, for example. It will also make a lovely and unique combination with sedums and miscanthus.
Dahlias are stars of borders and ornamental gardens, confidently accompanying the most beautiful flowers. However, they are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was first cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. Its poor taste qualities quickly saw it categorised as an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
Dahlias are easy to grow. They prefer rich and deep soil that is moist but not too wet. Enrich poor, sandy or stony soil each year with compost or well-rotted manure.
Slugs are the main enemy of dahlias. In our garden, we have lost dahlia tubers because slugs were eating all the emerging buds, UNDERGROUND, without us seeing them. Today, when we plant dahlias in the most infested areas of slugs, we take care to start their growth by planting them in pots first. When the stems have reached about 20cm (8in) in height, we plant them in the ground because slugs are less fond of well-established stems. It is also easier to intervene, as the damage occurs on the visible parts and no longer underground.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. Dig the tubers up when the first frost has blackened the foliage. Carefully remove 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 10cm (4in). Spread your bulbs in a box lined with newspaper. Store them in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place, such as a garage or attic. In mild regions without frost, or those close to the coast, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, simply cover the ground with a carpet 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.
