Collection of 3 dahlias for bouquets, red tones

A collection of 3 Dahlias for dazzling red bouquets! Their flowers, with varying shapes, double or bristly petals, or even large honeycomb pompoms, bloom abundantly from July to October. We appreciate the power of the red color scheme that delights the eye, magnificent in full sun in flower beds. These Dahlias, carried by long stems, are of course splendid in homemade bouquets, with gray foliage and white roses for example.

This collection consists of:

-1x Ball Dahlia 'Red Fox': 8 cm (3in) wide flowers, with petals or ligules forming a dense ball, precisely organized in honeycombs, a dazzling red, very uniform, with a velvety appearance. The plant forms a leafy clump about 1 m (3ft) tall.

-1x Semi-cactus Dahlia 'Witteman's Best' (synonym Superba): on 1.30 m (4ft) stems, flowers 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) wide filled with pointed petals, a crimson red, darkened at the heart with more purplish hues. 

1x Giant Decorative Dahlia 'Barbarossa': 20 cm (8in) flowers, round and flat in shape, semi-double or sometimes double, offering a superb scarlet red color, very homogeneous. Perched on long stems over a metre high, they give a special relief to the background of flower beds. Height: 1.30 m (4ft), purplish stems.

To encourage flowering again, be sure to remove faded flowers, or even better, regularly make large colorful bouquets by associating them with other varieties. Perched on long stems over a meter high, the red flowers of the dahlias in this collection give a special relief to the background of flower beds. With their dazzling flowers, the dahlias in this collection go particularly well with white, blue, or violet flowers (Salvia Black and Blue). They also go perfectly with grasses, shrubby wormwoods, and cineraria, as well as with helenias for example, and also allow for enhancing bouquets until late in the season.

As a star plant for borders and herb gardens, Dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers but are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was first cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. But its poor taste qualities assigned it the rank of ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.
