Dahlia Crème De Cassis from the Select by Taylor’s range is an elegant and distinctive summer flowering dahlia, highly regarded for its soft, refined colouring and exceptional performance as a cut flower. Large, fully formed blooms feature layers of pale blush-pink petals beautifully contrasted by a rich, deep plum centre, creating a sophisticated two-tone effect. Flowering all summer long, this variety adds gentle colour and texture to borders while also producing long-stemmed flowers ideal for cutting. Endorsed by the National Dahlia Society, it is a reliable and rewarding choice for Irish gardens.
Key Features
This dahlia is selected as ideal for cut flowers, producing strong stems and long-lasting blooms throughout the summer months. Its distinctive two-tone colouring offers a softer alternative to brighter varieties, making it easy to pair with other plants in mixed borders. Flowering continuously in suitable conditions, it provides excellent garden performance and is well suited to Irish growing conditions when planted in a sunny, sheltered position.
Size
Dahlia Crème De Cassis reaches an approximate flowering height of 70cm, or around 28 inches, making it suitable for the middle of borders and for cutting.
Useful For
Ideal for cut flower gardens, mixed summer borders and floral arrangements, where its elegant colouring and strong stems can be fully appreciated.
Aftercare
Plant dahlia tubers in spring once the risk of frost has passed, in fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny, sheltered location. Water well after planting and continue during dry spells as plants establish. Pinching out early growth can encourage bushier plants and more flowers. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally. Lift and store tubers over winter in a cool, dry, frost-free place for replanting the following season.
