Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

The "influencer" of the flower world. With its unruly, twisted petals and sunset shades of apricot and peach, 'Labyrinth' is the variety that broke the internet—messy, romantic, and absolutely impossible to ignore

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.

Where to Plant:

Choose a sheltered, sunny position protected from strong winds, as the large flower heads can catch the breeze. They thrive in rich, fertile, and well-drained soil that has been improved with compost or organic matter.

How to Plant:

Plant tubers outdoors after all risk of frost has passed (usually late May). Dig a hole roughly 15cm deep and place the tuber with the 'eye' facing upwards. Insert a sturdy stake next to the planting hole immediately to avoid damaging the tuber later.

Aftercare:

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and feed every two weeks with a high-potash fertiliser once buds appear. Deadhead faded blooms to encourage new flowers. In colder areas, lift the tubers after the first frost and store them frost-free over winter.
