Description

The Dahlia 'Summer Beauty' is a variety of decorative dahlia with salmon-orange flowers that blooms from July to October.

This perennial has swollen, fleshy tuberculous roots. Gathered in bundles, these tubers produce upright, hollow and ramified stems, bearing compound leaves with rounded leaflets. Strong, fleshy stems, 120cm (47in) tall, are topped with flowers with wide, flat, slightly incurved ligules, measuring 22cm (9in) in diameter, in a salmon-orange colour.

The Dahlia 'Summer Beauty' grows in rich, clayey but healthy soil, deeply worked in a warm and sunny location, sheltered from prevailing winds. It does not thrive in poor, sandy soils.

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

Tips: When planting, consider the dimensions for the composition of your flower beds.

Planting and care

The Dahlia 'Summer Beauty' 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 use stakes and tie the young stems loosely. Add compost or slow-release organic fertilizer during planting, and liquid fertilizer once a 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) above the stump. Store them in darkness in a cool, well-ventilated place that is not too damp. Replant in early May when the risk of frost has passed.
