Dahlia 'Rainbow Silence' (Decorative)
£5.19
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between February 23 and February 25.
Dahlia ‘Rainbow Silence’ is a delightful decorative variety that features a harmonious blend of soft peach, lilac, and yellow tones. The petals transition gently between these warm, sunset hues, creating a multifaceted bloom that looks different from every angle.
This variety forms a bushy, medium-height plant with strong stems that display the flowers well above the foliage. The blooms are fully double and rounded, offering a classic dahlia shape with a modern, pastel colour twist.
Plant in a sunny, sheltered position in moist, fertile soil. The complex colouring of the petals is best appreciated in a spot where the flowers can be viewed up close, such as near a path or patio.
Water regularly during the growing season and apply a balanced liquid feed every couple of weeks once the buds appear. Remove spent flowers to channel energy into new growth and lift the tubers for winter storage in colder regions.
A brilliant choice for pastel-themed gardens, ‘Rainbow Silence’ provides a soft, glowing presence in the border and makes a wonderful cut flower that bridges the gap between pink and yellow arrangements.

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!
