A sensational variety with enormous Dinnerplate flowerheads! The blooms are supremely glamorous with curving, pointed petals in elegant shades of peach and soft pink. Dahlia ‘Penhill Watermelon’ is a free-flowering variety – just as well, because you won’t be able to resist cutting some for a vase indoors! This spectacular beauty is a great choice for giving your summer borders the ‘wow’ factor. Height: 100cm (39″). Spread: 45cm (18″).
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.
