Description
A collection of 8 bulbs combining dahlias, florist's arum, and double Asian lilies. Their pastel flowerings, dominated by pink, with very different shapes and textures, allow for the creation of various bouquets in a rural or romantic style. The lilies will bring their beautiful fragrance to each display. The flowering period extends from June to October: the arum open the show in June, followed by dahlia and lilies in July. You can continue to enjoy the dahlia As long as there are no frosts.
This collection consists of:
-1 x Giant Dahlia 'Café-au-Lait Pink': very double and enormous flowers, sometimes reaching 25 cm in diameter. They bloom in a very soft colour, ranging from cream to pale pink. The stems of this dahlia can reach a height of 1.20 m. Flowering from July to October.
-1 x Decorative Dahlia Onesta: this variety forms a large camellia-like flower of a dark intense lavender pink colour that is both warm and bright. It is a relatively low-growing plant, with stems reaching 70 cm. Flowering from July to October.
-3 x Zantedeschia Crystal Blush: a particularly elegant and irresistible variety of florist's arum, which will make a big impression in a vase, as well as in a pot in a refined contemporary interior. Its white cone-shaped flowers are delicately edged with pink. Height of the floral stem: between 50 and 60 cm. Flowering from June to August.
-3 x Lilium Broken Heart: an Asian lily that offers 18-20 cm-long double or even triple flowers, with a nuanced candy pink shade with white undertones, highlighted by a beautiful blood-red median and speckled with purple towards the throat. Each floral stem bears up to 10 highly fragrant flowers. Height: 80-90 cm. Flowering in July-August.
To encourage repeat flowering, take care to remove faded flowers, or even better, regularly cut the flowers to make large bouquets by combining them with other varieties. With their pastel-coloured blooms in shades of pink, the bulbs that make up this collection combine well with both rural and more sophisticated flowers. Consider white, mauve, or blue delphinia, the plumes of ornamental grasses, daisies, or statice, for example. At the end of summer, enjoy asters, amaranths, and roses to accompany the dahlias. Echinaceas. They can also enhance cut flower bouquets until late in the season.

Planting and care
Plant your bulbs in the spring, in deeply worked and enriched soil, for example with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. Place your bulbs and tubers at the recommended depth for each variety. Crumble the soil well to fill in without any air pockets. Water regularly during the first 6 weeks to aid rooting.
- Plant your Calla Crystal Blush bulbs in March or April, at a depth of 12 cm, spaced 15 cm apart, in rich, slightly moist soil, in full sun or partial shade. You can also grow them in large pots, ensuring they are watered very regulary to keep the soil moist, and are given fertiliser every 2 months during growth. Mulch them at the first cold weather, as they are sensitive to winter damp and severe frosts, and are only moderately hardy in central Europe. If grown in pots, store them during the winter. You can cut the foliage after the first frost.
- The 'Broken Heart' lily prefers humus-rich, fertile, well-drained and light soil. Plant it in full sun, preferably in spring, burying the bulbs 15 cm deep in soil mixed with leaf compost. Placing them in a pouch of sand will protect them from slugs. Mark the planting location, as growth only starts in April. When the stems reach 30 cm in height, discreetly stake them. If red insects appear, treat them immediately, as they are lily beetles whose larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them manually, but be careful, they drop as soon as they are touched, so put a box underneath. After flowering, it is recommended to cut the faded flowers stems halfway down to keep the bed beautiful during the summer.
- Dahlia are sensitive to cold and need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts will blacken the foliage, which is the time to dig them up. Carefully remove the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tuber can replenish its reserves. When the foliage is dry, cut the stems down to 10 cm from the tuber. Spread your bulbs in a box on newspaper. Store in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place.

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.
