Dahlia Baccara
Availability: Out of stock
A beautiful and graceful cultivar, dahlia 'Baccara' is well-known for its rich, velvety crimson blooms that provide drama to any garden or floral arrangement. This cultivar has semi-double flowers with slightly pointed petals and a rich burgundy-red colour that give it a classy and dramatic look.
'Baccara', which typically reaches a height of 90–120cm, is perfect for cutting gardens, borders, and decorative garden beds. It grows quickly in well-drained, nutritious soil and prefers full sun, which intensifies the deep saturation of its blossoms.
Supplied as tubers, the best time to plant is in April and May. To plant them, dig a hole at least 20-30cm square and around 20-30cm deep for each one. Cover the base of the hole with 10cms of compost, or manure and give it a good dousing with a full watering can and then plant the dahlia at a depth of 15-20cms. You will need a stout stake, not just a bamboo cane, to support each plant and it is a good idea to knock this in first and then place the plant by its side. It will need to be lifted in winter - once the foliage dies back simply dig it up and store in a cool, frost free location.
