Dahlia 'Dahlegria Pink Flame'

Description: Dahlia 'Dahlegria Pink Flame' is a spectacular summer-flowering tuberous perennial that brings dramatic colour and visual impact to South England gardens from early summer through to autumn frost. This variety produces striking semi-double blooms in vibrant pink-red tones that rise proudly above lush green foliage on sturdy, upright stems. The flowers are particularly valued for their longevity and prolific flowering habit, making them ideal for creating bold seasonal displays in borders, mixed plantings, and containers. Plants form bushy, well-structured clumps that reach approximately 90-120 cm in height with a spread of 60-75 cm, providing excellent architectural presence. The robust growth habit and strong stems make this variety particularly suitable for cutting gardens, where blooms will perform exceptionally well in indoor arrangements. Dahlias thrive in South England's climate and soil conditions, performing best in full sun positions with fertile, well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering throughout the season, while staking taller stems prevents wind damage. In South England, tubers should be lifted and stored indoors over winter in frost-prone areas, or mulched heavily where left in situ.
