Dahlia Park Princess, 5 pcs

The irregularly shaped, semi-cactus dahlia Park Princess has a beautiful bright pink color. Can bloom for months, and is also very suitable as a cut flower for the vase, and certainly also suitable for planting in pots for the balcony or terrace. 

Semi-cactus dahlias share similarities with the cactus variety but have a softer appearance. Their petals are rolled for about half of their length, broadening at the base. This gives the flowers a fuller look while still maintaining a spiky edge.

Dahlias are planted in early spring, after frost. If night frost is expected after planting, it is best to cover the dahlias to keep them frost-free. Plant them about 15 cm. deep, with the thick roots downwards, such that the remainder of last year's stem is just covered with 2 to 3 cm of soil. Also give them some water immediately. They can grow in a semi-shaded spot, but they prefer a sunny spot for abundant flowering.

Dig up the tubers at the end of summer and store the tubers in a cool, frost-free area.
