Dahlia 'Labyrinth' – (Dinnerplate)
£4.69
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between February 03 and February 05.
Dahlia ‘Labyrinth’ is a show-stopping Dinnerplate variety famous for its swirling, twisted petals and a mesmerizing colour palette that blends apricot, peach, and raspberry pink.
Growing to a substantial height of around 100cm, it produces massive blooms that can reach over 20cm across. The chaotic, wavy arrangement of the petals gives each flower a unique, romantic look, making it a favourite for luxury bouquets and wedding arrangements.
Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot in rich, fertile soil once all risk of frost has passed. Tubers should be planted around 15cm deep and spaced about 60cm apart to allow for vigorous growth. Staking is essential to support the heavy flower heads.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and feed with a high-potash fertiliser every two weeks once buds appear. Deadhead faded blooms regularly to encourage a continuous display of flowers right through to the first frosts.
An absolute must-have for the cutting garden, ‘Labyrinth’ pairs beautifully with deep purple Salvias or dark-leaved Dahlias. In borders, its warm, sunset tones bring a modern, exotic feel to late summer planting schemes.

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!
