Dahlia ‘Bodacious’ lives up to its name! The enormous dinner-plate blooms are a fiery combo of orange and gold, creating a blaze of colour in summer borders! Each giant flower measures in at a massive 25cms across. This is no shrinking violet – this tall variety is best grown at the back of the border where it will reach impressive proportions. It also makes a sensational cut flower that will add drama to any bouquet. Height: 150cm (59″). Spread: 60cm (24″).
Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6″) and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.
