Dahlia 'Gallery Leonardo'
Peach Pink Flowers
Compact Decorative Dahlia.
RHS Award Of Garden Merit
Ultimate Height 45cm
Full Sun, Well Drained, Fertile Soil
Dahlia 'Gallery Leonardo' is another beautiful 'Gallery Series' dahlia, that is compact in height but still has abundant blooms of peach-pink decorative flowers that keep flowering right up to the first frosts. It has been awarded an AGM (Award Of Garden Merit) from the Royal Horticultural Society.
When growth reaches 20-30cm, pinch or snip out the growing tips to promote bushy, strong growth.
Once the frosts are over, plant into a pot or ground in fertile soil in full sun and water well.
TIP! When planting your Dahlia insert 3-4 sturdy canes or stakes around the plant, tie twine or string around the supports and let the dahlia grow up between them, this will support them when they are flowering. This is a much more natural and easier way of growing dahlia rather than trying to do it once the plant has grown tall and also the roots are less likely to be disturbed.
