Striking Dahlia for Borders, Containers and Cutting
Dahlia Bacardi is a distinctive summer-flowering dahlia valued for its rich colouring, strong stems and long flowering season. Producing blooms from mid-summer through to the first frost, this variety brings reliable impact to garden borders, large containers and cutting gardens.
The flowers measure approximately 15 cm across and feature softly incurved petals with deeper tones on the reverse, surrounding a darker central eye. Dark stems and deep green foliage provide an excellent contrast, making this dahlia a strong focal point in mixed planting schemes.
Ideal for Late Summer Colour
Dahlias are essential for extending garden interest from July to October, and Bacardi performs particularly well during this period. It suits a wide range of planting styles, from relaxed cottage borders to more structured or exotic designs.
Excellent Cut Flower Performance
Bacardi is an excellent choice for cut flower gardens. Regular cutting encourages continued flower production, ensuring a steady supply of blooms throughout the season.
Growing Advice
Plant tubers in a sunny, sheltered position after the risk of frost has passed. Dahlias prefer fertile, free-draining soil and benefit from regular watering during dry spells. As tender plants, tubers require winter protection, either by lifting and storing or providing adequate insulation in milder areas.
