- CARE GUIDE
Dahlia ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ is a highly sought-after variety with a unique play of colour. Soft apricot petals contrast beautifully with a vivid cerise-pink centre and a playful frilled collar. The open flower form attracts butterflies and bees, bringing life to the garden. It blooms generously all summer and is a true jewel in borders, containers and bouquets.
Flowering period: June–September
Height: Approx. 100–120 cm
Position: Sun to light shade
Store frost-free and in the dark. Start with a 20-liter pot, plant the tuber 10 cm deep in nutrient-rich soil. Place in a bright, cool spot and move outside after the risk of frost. Pinch out at 20 cm for compact growth.
Plant out after the last frost in 30-40 liter pots with 50 cm spacing. Cover with frost protection cloth on cold nights. Water regularly and fertilize with Zetas dahlia fertilizer. Remove faded flowers and support tall varieties. Overwinter frost-free and in the dark.
At sub-zero temperatures, we include a heat pack in the parcel at no extra cost to prevent the dahlias from freezing during delivery.
