Dahlia 'Just Married' (Decorative)
Dahlia ‘Just Married’ is a romantic decorative variety renowned for its soft, dreamy blend of bright pink and creamy white. It is a favourite for wedding floristry and elegant garden designs, offering a delicate and sophisticated look that blends seamlessly with other pastel shades.
This variety produces an abundance of medium-sized flowers on long, straight stems, making it exceptional for cutting. The petals are slightly fimbriated (fringed) at the tips, adding a unique, ruffled texture to the blooms that softens their overall appearance.
Plant in full sun to partial shade, ensuring the soil is fertile and well-worked before planting. It thrives in a dedicated cutting garden or mixed border where it can be easily accessed for harvesting stems.
Keep the soil consistently moist during summer, as water stress can reduce flower quality. In late autumn, cut back the stems and lift the tubers to store in a cool, dry place until spring, ensuring they are kept frost-free.
A brilliant choice for bridal bouquets and romantic garden themes, ‘Just Married’ bridges the gap between white and pink planting schemes, providing reliable structure and charm from mid-summer to autumn.
