Dahlia 'Rebecca’s World' is a bit of a freak of nature really, it can't make its mind up whether to flower red, or white - or both! You will get a random mix of deep blood red, blush white or mixed flowers all on the same plant. It is very unusual to find something like this which is a stable mix of colours.

Perfect for the late Summer and Autumn garden, grow in big pots or direct in the border, you will get big displays from August to October, which you can cut for the vase too to amaze your friends with. Lift the tubers in late Autumn, and store dry and you can repeat the displays for future years too.

Top Tips
If you find that earwigs are a problem, the organic way to control them is to position pots filled with straw upside down on canes spaced around your dahlias.
Care Information
  • Dahlias are tender tubers and do best when potted up initially in March or early April, into large pots (2 - 3L) filled with multi-purpose compost.
  • Placed in a light, frost-free place and kept moist, they'll quickly form bushy plants by the time the frosts have ended, ready to be planted out into the garden.
  • In the garden, dig a hole at least 30cm wide x 30cm deep for each one, spacing each tuber 75cm apart.
  • If you don’t have anywhere to start them in pots, you can put the tubers straight into the ground when the frosts are nearly over.
  • Once a fortnight, feed them with a liquid feed such as our Blooming Fast Superior plant feed.
  • During dry periods, water at least once a week.
  • Dahlias should be deadheaded regularly to encourage more blooms and you will need to stake the plants to prevent the flowers from breaking the stems.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them.
