The bulbs are of good size with a good start of stem. I hope they will develop well.

Description

Dahlia 'Lovelife' is a variety of decorative dahlia with red flowers and a hint of yellow in the centre that blooms from July to October.

 

This perennial has fleshy, swollen tuberculous roots. Gathered in bundles, these tubers produce upright, hollow and branched stems, bearing compound leaves with rounded leaflets. Solid, fleshy stalks, 80cm (32in) tall, are topped with flowers with wide, flattened, rather incurved ligules, 11cm (4in) in diameter, red in colour.

Dahlia 'Lovelife' grows in rich, clay but healthy soil, deeply worked in warm and sunny locations, sheltered from prevailing winds. It languishes in poor, sandy soils.

Dahlia 'Lovelife' is used in mixed flower beds with other varieties or for making bouquets.

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

Planting and care

Dahlia 'Lovelife' 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 stakes and tie the young stems loosely. Add slow-release compost or organic fertiliser during planting and liquid fertiliser once a month during growth. 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, cut the stems to 15cm (6in) from the stump. Store them in darkness in a cool and well-ventilated place, not too humid. Transplant in early May when there is no longer a risk of frost.
