We're revisiting our dahlia post to share a high-impact highlight from our work this week—a truly magnificent, vibrant bloom captured in a quick video!
We uploaded this clip to YouTube as a Short (you can watch it embedded above) and couldn't resist showing off this stunning tightly rolled Pompon Dahlia. Notice the incredible colour graduation: a deep magenta core fading out to a beautiful coral-pink on the outer petals. It was filmed at a client's garden right here in Totnes.
Dahlias are the workhorses of the late-season garden, providing huge impact with relatively simple maintenance. We've been ensuring these stars get consistent feeding and deadheading to keep them producing until the first frost.
Watch the latest clip now and let us know which late-season variety is thriving best in your garden this year! TotnesGardening.Co.UK
