Dahlia Night Butterfly
Availability: Out of stock
Dahlia 'Night Butterfly' like other dahlias, will keep on giving all summer and in to Autumn, with the added bonus that if you like to cut blooms for indoors, the plant will simply replace them with even more.
Velvety deep red petals form the base for a deep pink and white collarette round a centre of gold.
Supplied as a bare root tuber.
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 15cms. You may 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. Plant in a sunny spot and keep moist yet well-drained. 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.
