DAHLIA cocc. Gardenetta Velvet Crush
DAHLIA cocc. Gardenetta Velvet Crush
A compact, fast-growing dahlia with a long flowering season from mid to late summer into autumn, ideal for brightening sunny Irish borders and seasonal displays. Grow in full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil, watering regularly in dry spells and deadheading to encourage continual blooms. In Ireland, treat as a tender perennial: plant out after the last frost, then lift and store the tubers after the first autumn frost, or mulch deeply to protect in milder gardens.
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
