Description
The Dahlia Gallery Sisley, like all the varieties in the Gallery series, is a plant with a very compact habit, characterized by excellent floribundity, specifically developed for container and basket decoration. 'Sisley' captivates with its original flowers with a luminous appearance, fully double, displaying a magnificent shade of pink-lilac, lighter on the periphery, more purple towards the center of the flower and on the reverse of the petals. The spectacle of its flowering begins in June and ends with the first frosts. A beautifully coloured plant, easy to grow in a pot on the terrace or in a sunny border.
Dahlias, belonging to the aster family, are originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. At present, the some 25,000 horticultural varieties obtained by humans have invaded, much to our delight, gardens all over the world.
The variety 'Gallery Sisley' is a dwarf dahlia related to Decorative and Cactus Dahlias. The plant will not exceed 40 cm (16in) in all directions, it has a bushy and compact habit, requiring no staking. The flowering of this variety takes place from June to October-November. The dense flower heads measure 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) in diameter and resemble pretty flattened and regular balls, composed of numerous rows of ligules slightly curved towards the stem and of a rich pink-lilac colour with nuances, almost purple at the center. At the end of flowering, the central disc becomes visible, yellow in colour. The very branched stems are hollow and the leaves are opposite and divided into 3 or 5 lobes with fine teeth. The leaves and stems are dark green.
To promote new flower growth and extend the flowering period, make sure to remove faded flowers. Even better, regularly cut them to create attractive colourful bouquets by combining various varieties.
'Gallery Sisley', wonderful in a flowerpot, also thrives at the front of borders or in flowerbeds. It pairs particularly well with the foliage of grasses; the Pennisetum villosum, a lovely feathery grass, Hordeum jubatum (Foxtail Barley), or even Muhlenbergia capillaris will bring softness and delicacy to the setting. It also enjoys pink blooms, especially the plump buds of old roses or Generosa roses.
As a star plant in borders and herb gardens, Dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers as well as the humble vegetables. They can be used to create beautiful flowering pots or charming bouquets. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was originally cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste qualities relegated it to the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
The Dahlia 'Gallery Sisley' is easy to grow in all regions. For abundant flowering, it is good to follow a few simple rules: plant the tubers in full sun as soon as the last frost has passed, rich, fresh, and well-drained soil is perfect. However, stagnant moisture would promote tuber rot. Do not hesitate to amend the soil with compost and sand if needed. Work the soil deeply and enrich it, for example, with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill without air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6 cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, water thoroughly once and then regularly renew this watering during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frost will darken the foliage, and it is time to dig them up. 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 10 cm (4in). Spread your bulbs in a crate on newspaper. Store them in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place, like a frost-free garage or an attic, for example. In regions in the South, close to the coast, where there are 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 as 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.
