Dahlia: AC Dark Horse

Striking rich cerise blooms that fade to dark chocolate over a week in the vase. Long lasting flowers that make a statement. Giant Semi Cactus with very fine fimbriation and 25-30cm blooms. A vigorous grower and gross feeder but it does not tolerate wet soils.  Apply plenty of nitrogen, sulphate of potash and trace elements for spectacular flowers. Large plant growing 1.5m tall in ideal conditions. Benefits from wind and heavy rain protection. (Greenway, 2009, USA)
