Dahlia Orfeo is an elegant variety with rich purple blooms that add a regal touch to any garden. These vibrant flowers bloom all summer long, reaching a height of 100 cm (40 inches) with a spread of 60 cm (24 inches). Perfect for borders, bedding, or as cut flowers, Dahlia Orfeo is a versatile and stunning addition to your floral displays.

To plant Dahlia Orfeo, prepare a well-cultivated garden bed with nutrient-rich soil, enhanced with organic material for optimal growth. Choose a sunny location that is sheltered from strong winds to support healthy development. Begin planting in March, spacing tubers 60 cm (24 inches) apart and ensuring they are covered with 15 cm (6 inches) of soil.

For earlier blooms, start the tubers indoors in boxes during April, using a light soil mix combined with compost. Keep the tubers slightly moist, cool, and protected from frost until they sprout. Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant the sprouted tubers outdoors. When using Dahlia Orfeo as a cut flower, ensure the blooms are fully developed before cutting to enjoy their best quality and longevity.

Dahlia Orfeo is not only an excellent choice for garden beds and borders but can also be grown in containers on patios or balconies. Its deep purple flowers create a striking visual impact, whether in outdoor spaces or as part of a stunning floral arrangement. With proper care, these flower bulbs will reward you with a spectacular display throughout the summer months.
