Dahlia 'Rhubarb and Custard'

Sweet and fruity as the classic dessert ! Dahlia ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ features a ring of broad, pale peach petals with a deep pink base surrounding a frill of blush-pink mini-petals that add a dainty flounce to the design. Collarette dahlias have smaller flowers than other varieties, around 10-15cm in diameter, but they are produced in great abundance and blend more easily into mixed, cottage-style borders than some of the bigger, showier dahlias. Dahlia ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ is also reasonably compact, making it well suited to container displays. This cheerful dahlia will re-energise late summer displays, providing prolific blooms from July to the first frosts. Just keep dead-heading and there will be armfuls of blooms to fill indoor vases too. Height: 50cm (20in) to 70cm (27in). Spread: 30cm (12in) to 50cm (20in).
