Dahlia 'Happy Butterfly'
Great For Cut Flowers
Creamy Yellow And Deep Pink
Ultimate Height 1M
Full Sun, Well Drained, Fertile Soil
Dahlia 'Happy Butterfly' is a gorgeous dahlia with waterlily type flowers of creamy yellow and petals that look like they have been brushed with deep pink paint. This dahlia produces lots of flowers on long stems which make it ideal for cutting and has a good vase life.
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.
