Dahlia Labella Maggiore 'Deep Rose'

Description: Dahlia 'Maggiore Deep Rose' is a compact, bushy half-hardy tuberous perennial that delivers exceptional colour from midsummer through to the first hard frosts. The fully double, decorative blooms are a warm, deep rose-pink with beautifully layered petals, equally striking in mixed borders or as cut flowers. Part of the Maggiore series, this variety has been bred for a neat, upright habit, making it ideal for front-to-middle border positions and container displays. The mid-green, finely pinnate foliage provides an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season. Highly attractive to pollinators—particularly bees and butterflies—this dahlia will sustain garden interest and wildlife value for months. In South England, it thrives in sunny, sheltered positions with fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering. After the first autumn frost, tubers can be lifted and stored frost-free indoors, or protected in situ with a thick mulch in milder microclimates.
