Flowering continuously throughout the summer months, this variety brings long-lasting colour and strong visual impact to borders and cutting gardens alike, making it a popular choice for gardeners who enjoy fresh flowers indoors as well as outdoors.
Growing to an impressive height of approximately 90cm, Dahlia Preference stands tall with sturdy stems that support its large, decorative flower heads, which reach around 12cm in diameter. It performs best in a sunny position with fertile, free-draining soil and rewards regular care with a generous display that lasts right through the season.

In autumn, once foliage has been blackened by frost, lift and store tubers in a cool, frost-free place, or mulch heavily if leaving in the ground in mild areas.
