Dahlia LaBella Maggiore Fun 'Pomegranate'

Description: Dahlia 'Fun Pomegranate' is a striking bicolour variety from the popular Maggiore series, producing an abundance of vibrant red and pink double flowers throughout the summer and autumn months. This tuberous perennial is prized for its jewel-toned blooms and compact, bushy habit, making it ideal for borders, flower beds, and cutting gardens. The plant develops mid-green, finely divided foliage that provides an attractive backdrop to the prolific flowering display. A half-hardy perennial, it thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. In South England, plant outdoors after the last frost (typically late May), spacing 45-60 cm apart. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering from midsummer until the first autumn frosts. The tubers should be lifted after the first hard frost and stored in a cool, frost-free location over winter. With proper care and regular feeding with high-potash fertiliser during the growing season, this dahlia rewards gardeners with reliable, multi-headed blooms year after year.
