  • Pointed, curved petals create striking texture and visual impact

Detailed Description

The Taylors 1 Berger’s Record Dahlia Tubers are a stunning addition to any garden, producing dramatic semi-cactus blooms with curved, pointed petals in a rich red hue. This variety grows on upright stems with dark green foliage, making it a strong structural feature in beds and borders. Planting between March and June in fertile, well-drained soil at a depth of 10cm and spacing of 50cm helps ensure healthy growth and abundant flowering. For the best results, choose a sunny location and water in well after planting. During the summer months, aim for a deep soak once a week to support strong stems and vibrant blooms. Taller dahlia varieties like ‘Berger’s Record’ may benefit from staking for support, especially when flowerheads become large. Regular deadheading and a general plant feed will encourage more blooms right through until the first frosts.
