Great For Sun

Dahlia 'Edinburgh' is a bold decorative variety with rich purple petals tipped white, creating a dramatic bi-colour effect that stands out brilliantly in late summer planting.

The flowers are full and symmetrical, carried on sturdy stems above a neat, bushy plant that performs well in borders and provides striking stems for cutting.

Grow it in a sunny, sheltered site with fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, planting after the last frosts for the strongest start.

Feed and deadhead regularly through the season to keep flowers coming, then lift and store the tubers before severe winter cold.

Planting guidance

Plant in full sun once conditions are warm, either directly into fertile, free-draining soil or started in pots first. Water well while establishing and support taller stems as they grow.

Dahlia ‘Seduction’ is an alluring decorative variety known for its elegant pink and purple picotee petals. Each bloom features a pale, milky-white base that is delicately edged with deep violet-pink, creating a defined and sophisticated outline.

The plant is robust and floriferous, producing a high volume of medium-sized flowers throughout the season. The distinct colouring of the petals gives the blooms a three-dimensional quality, making them pop against the dark green foliage.

Plant in full sun to partial shade, in soil that has been improved with compost. This variety is excellent for adding detail and intricacy to a border without overwhelming other plants with solid blocks of colour.

Keep the plant well-watered during dry spells and stake if necessary to support the weight of the flowers. Deadhead faithfully to ensure a display that lasts well into autumn, and protect the tubers from frost during winter.

A brilliant choice for romantic cottage gardens, ‘Seduction’ draws the eye with its intricate detailing and pairs beautifully with deep purple flowers like Salvia ‘Caradonna’ or dark-leaved Heucheras.
