Detailed Description

The Taylors 2 Tartan Dahlia Tuber pack offers gardeners a truly eye-catching variety with its distinctive red and white patterned petals. Dahlia ‘Tartan’ is known for its long-lasting flowers and reliable performance, producing repeat blooms right through to the first frost. These dahlias work brilliantly as a bold border plant or as a striking centrepiece in containers on patios and balconies. With a height of up to 1 metre, they add excellent structure and height to garden schemes, while also providing beautiful cut flowers for the home.

Deadheading regularly will encourage continued flowering throughout the season.
