Description
A collection of 3 Giant Decorative Dahlias with warm colors! Their double flowers, with variable shapes, bloom abundantly from July until the first frost, on vigorous plants. You will appreciate the dazzling combination of salmon orange and red in their magnificent corollas, carried by purple stems, both in the garden and in a large vase in the living room. Beautiful association with flowers of violet sage grasses.
This collection consists of:
-1x Dahlia 'Deep Impact': flowers measuring up to 15 cm (6in) in diameter, double, slightly flattened, and of a soft orange with traces of coppery pink, rosy brown, or apricot depending on the soil and climate. They have excellent durability due to their structure that allows rain to flow. Height: 1 m (3ft), purple stems.
-1x Dahlia 'Maxime': 12 cm (5in) flowers, very double, rounded, made up of multiple incurved ligules or petals in red color bordered by a fine yellow to white line. The floral stems, thin but strong, are purple in color. Height: 90 cm (35in).
1x Dahlia 'Barbarossa': 20 cm (8in) flowers, round and flat in shape, semi-double or sometimes double, offering a superb uniform scarlet red color. Perched on long stems over a meter tall, they give a special relief to the background of flowerbeds. Height: 1.30 m (4ft), purple stems.
To promote flower reblooming, make sure to remove faded flowers, or even better, regularly make large colorful bouquets by combining them with other varieties. With their large warm-colored flowers, the dahlias in this collection go particularly well with white or violet flowers. In flowerbeds, they will create warm and bright spots in the company of Asters, for example, which bloom at the same time, as well as grasses at their peak of beauty or Echinaceas. They also allow for late-season bouquet arrangements.
As the star plant of borders and herb gardens, Dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers but are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was first cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. But its poor taste qualities assigned it the rank of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
Plant your dahlias in the spring in deeply worked soil, enriched for example with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill it without any air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with 6 cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, pour a litre of water. Water regularly during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold, they need to be overwintered under protection. In November, the first frosts will blacken the foliage, it's time to dig them up. Carefully remove the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tuber can replenish its reserves. When the foliage is dry, cut the stems to 10 cm (4in) from the tuber. Spread your bulbs in a box on a newspaper. Store in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place.

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.
