Dahlia LaBella Maggiore Fun 'Rose Bicolor'

Description: This compact dahlia is a member of the celebrated Maggiore series, bred specifically for reliable garden performance in the UK climate. It produces masses of fully double, decorative blooms in soft pink with contrasting white highlights, creating a striking bicolour effect from midsummer through to the first autumn frosts. The neat, bushy growth habit requires minimal staking, making it ideal for mixed borders, patio containers, and cutting gardens. The plant develops attractive mid-green, pinnate foliage that provides a fresh backdrop for the prolific flowering display. As a half-hardy tuberous perennial, it thrives in South England gardens with appropriate winter protection. The flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, adding valuable ecological benefit to your garden. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming throughout the season, while the long stems make exceptional cut flowers for indoor arrangements. This dahlia performs best in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and benefits from fortnightly high-potash feeding once buds form.
