Dahlia 'Alauna Clair-obscur'
fimbriata dahlia
Big (up to 20cm across), ruffled looking raspberry heads, with white petal tips that look as though they have been cut with pinking shears, are nothing short of spectacular. Try mixing them with pure whites or softer pinks.
How to care for Dahlia Alauna Clair-obscur:
Provide a high-nitrogen liquid feed each week in June, then a high-potash fertiliser each week from July to September. Once the first frosts of autumn have blackened the foliage, carefully lift and clean the tubers and allow them to dry naturally indoors. Place the dry tubers in a shallow tray, just covered with slightly moist potting compost, sand or vermiculite. Store in a frost-free place, checking frequently over the winter months.
