There is nothing more delectable than a dazzle of Dahlias. These magical mountain plants from Mexico and Central America have long been a favourite in British summer gardens. Your Dahlia x hybrida ‘Goldalia Scarlet’ will charm you with its irresistibly dainty, vermillion flowers. Brightly ruffed with a frill of lemon, these dahlias are sure to demand your adoration. Laden with blooms from July to the first frosts around October time, your dahlias will flood the garden with colour. Curious bees and butterflies will be tantalised by your blooms – especially when they are mass planted. Equally vibrant in vases, dahlias make superb cut flowers, adding long-lasting frivolity to any arrangement. A half-hardy (H3) perennial, ‘Dahlia x hybrida Goldalia Scarlet’ will flourish in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil of any kind. Furthermore, by deadheading spent flowers and regularly applying fertiliser in the growing season you will encourage a continuous barrage of blooms. While dahlias may survive in the garden all year round in warmer parts of the UK, lifting the tubers and storing them in a cool dry area over winter is advisable to ensure you have stocks for the following year and years to come. ‘Dahlia x hybrida Goldalia Scarlet’ will reach a maximum height and spread of 30cm by 25cm.
