I received 3 bulbs that are healthy and well developed. They are currently emerging from the ground, well protected from slugs in their plastic bottle. I am waiting for the pretty flowers promised.

Description
The Dahlia 'Randy Crawford' is a variety of Dahlia 'head' displaying a dark cherry pink with a hint of violet colour. Its modest-sized flowers, reminiscent of flattened pompoms, do not go unnoticed in the garden. The plant is compact, yet flowers generously from summer until the onset of autumn. Its richly coloured flowers look stunning with asters and roses.
The Dahlias belong to the Asteraceae family, bearing inflorescences in heads although we commonly refer to them as "flowers". The thousands of cultivars currently available stem from various botanical species originating from the high plateaus of Mexico. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its somewhat limited gustatory qualities were soon overshadowed by its ornamental qualities. The Dahlia, with its infinitely varied forms and colours, is now considered one of the most popular flowers.
The variety 'Randy Crawford' reaches approximately 80 cm in height by 50 cm in diameter within 3 to 4 months. It is classified among Dahlias of the decorative group with Head type flowers. In this horticultural group, the heads have no visible centre, and they are composed of numerous regularly arranged and completely rolled up tubular petals (ligules), never opening flat. It includes varieties that form true balls, such as pompons (diameter less than 6 cm) and heads (diameter greater than 6 cm). In 'Randy Crawford', the heads reach up to 8 cm in diameter. The plant has an erect and bushy habit. The flowering renews from July to October-November, if faded flowers are removed or cut for bouquets. The sturdy stems are hollow and more or less purplish. The green leaves are divided into 3 or 5 deeply toothed lobes.
The Dahlia 'Randy Crawford' is a showstopper in the garden and in bouquets. To enhance its sumptuous colour, you can pair it with Aster cordifolius 'Little Carlow', whose small lavender blue flowers also bloom towards the end of the season. Also, combine it with roses in pale pink or white tones, such as 'Iceberg' or 'Bouquet Parfait'. To further accentuate the chic and romantic character of the ensemble, add light grasses, such as Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Red Head'.
The star of borders and cottage gardens, Dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful of flowers, but are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants.

Planting and care
The Dahlia Randy Crawford is easy to grow in all regions. For a bountiful flowering, it is good to follow a few simple rules, plant the tubers in a sunny location from the last frosts, rich, fresh and well-drained soils are perfect. However, stagnant moisture would promote tuber rot. Feel free to amend the soil with compost and sand if necessary. Work the soil deeply and enrich it with crushed horn or dehydrated blood for example. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill without air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6 cm of soil. At the end of planting, water once abundantly and then renew this watering regularly during the first 6 weeks to aid in rooting.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts blacken the foliage, it is time to dig them up. Carefully unearth 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. Spread your bulbs in a crate on a newspaper. Store them frost-free in a dry, cool and dark place, such as a frost-free garage or attic for example. In southern regions, near the coast, experiencing few frosty days per year, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, simply cover the ground with a blanket of leaves or straw for 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.
