Dahlia Waltzing Mathilda is a stunning semi-double dahlia with coral-pink flowers edged in red and complemented by dark foliage. As an RHS Award winner, this variety is not only visually captivating but also perfect for pollinators, making it a wonderful addition to a wildlife-friendly garden. Blooming all summer long, this dahlia grows to a height and spread of 90 cm (36 inches), making it ideal for borders, bedding, or use as cut flowers.

Plant Dahlia Waltzing Mathilda in well-cultivated garden soil enriched with organic material to support its vigorous growth and striking blooms. Choose a sunny, sheltered location away from strong winds to ensure the best results. Begin planting in March, spacing tubers 90 cm (36 inches) apart and covering them with 15 cm (6 inches) of soil.

For earlier flowering, start the tubers indoors in boxes in April, using a light soil mix with compost. Keep the tubers slightly moist, cool, and protected from frost until they sprout. Once the danger of frost has passed, transplant the sprouted tubers to your garden. When using Dahlia Waltzing Mathilda as a cut flower, allow the blooms to fully develop before cutting to ensure their vibrant beauty indoors.

This versatile dahlia thrives in garden beds, borders, and containers, adding charm to patios and balconies. Its unique coral-pink flowers with red accents create a lively and elegant display, while its pollinator-friendly nature makes it an environmentally conscious choice. Dahlia Waltzing Mathilda is a must-have for gardeners looking to combine beauty and ecological benefits.
