Dahlia tuber - Pretty in Pink!

Dee from Rangiora

$6 per tuber,
$20 for 4 tubers.

Pretty in Pink!
Brighten up your garden with these stunning display of flowers all summer long. Prolific bloomer which keeps flowering during summer until early autumn. Also great for cut flowers.

Height between 90cm - 110cm

For a best result, plant at least 2 -3 tubers of the same variety together to create a mass of bushy plants.

Plant 5 - 10cm deep, and plenty mulch on top to keep the tubers secure.

Don't water them until sprouts come out. They don't need a lot of water when the sprouts are less than 20cm to prevent tubers from rot. Water them 2 - 3 times a week. Increase the amount of water gradually when the plants start growing bigger.

Deadhead flowers to promote more flowering.

Price: $6

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
