Dahlia 'Fire and Ice' (Decorative)
Estimated Delivery between June 16 and June 18.
Dahlia ‘Fire and Ice’ is a show-stopping decorative variety featuring striking bi-colour blooms of bright red with clean white edges. Its crisp, defined markings make it an eye-catching addition to cottage gardens and cheerful summer displays where bold colour is required.
The plant grows into a neat, bushy mound with fresh green foliage that contrasts thoroughly with the vivid flowers. The blooms are medium-sized and fully double, with broad, flat petals that display the consistent red-and-white pattern perfectly on every flower.
Plant in a sunny, open position where it can receive plenty of light, in soil that remains moist but drains well. This variety is relatively robust but performs best when sheltered from heavy rains that might damage the pristine white tips of the petals.
Water regularly, especially during the bud-formation stage, and feed every two weeks during the flowering season. Deadhead spent flowers by cutting the stem back to a leaf node to promote fresh buds throughout the season.
A brilliant choice for cutting patches and front-of-border impact, ‘Fire and Ice’ attracts attention from a distance and pairs wonderfully with solid white or red companions to echo its dynamic colour scheme.

Arrived quickly and well-packaged. Planted them in some pots on the patio and they all came up. Look beautiful. Thank you!

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
