Dahlia 'Purple Explosion' produces bold decorative blooms in deep purple edged white, creating a crisp, high-contrast effect that stands out from a distance and adds drama to summer planting.
The flowers are full and rounded, held above a strong, bushy plant that provides dependable colour from midsummer until frost and plenty of stems for cutting.
Plant in a sunny, sheltered position after the danger of frost has passed, using fertile, well-drained soil and giving the plant support if conditions are windy.
Keep deadheading and watering through dry spells to maintain flowering, then lift and store the tubers once autumn frosts arrive.
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.
