Delbard Dahlias

Everyone has heard of Delbard Roses, but there aren’t many who have come across Delbard Dahlias! These flowers are totally flamboyant, a bit less formal or cottage than your average Dahlia. Each variety is carefully selected. From a trial of over 10 000 hand pollinated seeds, only five new varieties are chosen. From this point it takes another six years to get them to the market. The breeding program began back in the 1940’s and many beautiful varieties have been realised. They are award winning Dahlias for their large flower size, flowering numbers, colouring selection and compact, strong growth.

Dahlias tubers take around eight weeks from planting to flowering. Plant your Dahlia tuber in a sunny spot into moist, humus rich, well drained soil. Water in well then keep moist during active growth.
