Description

Dahlia 'Little Beeswing' is a pompon variety. The golf-ball sized flowers are golden yellow with intense red flames, and they bloom from July to October.

 

This perennial has swollen tuberous roots. Gathered in bundles, these tubers produce upright, hollow and ramified stems, bearing compound leaves with rounded leaflets. It develops strong, fleshy stems, 80cm (32in) in height, topped with ligulate flowers in intense red and golden yellow shades, measuring 5cm (2in) in diameter.

Dahlia 'Little Beeswing' grows well in rich, clayey soil that is deeply worked. It prefers warm and sunny conditions, sheltered from prevailing winds. It does not thrive in poor, sandy soils.

Dahlia 'Little Beeswing' is perfect in mixed flower beds with other varieties. The flowers are also ideal for making bouquets.

Tips: when planting, consider the dimensions of the dahlia when designing your flower beds.

Planting and care

Plant 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 support stakes and loosely tie the young stems. Add slow-release compost or organic fertiliser during planting, and liquid fertiliser 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) from the stump. Store them in a cool, well-ventilated, and dark place that is not too humid. Transplant in early May once the risk of frost has passed.
