Benefits to UK Wildlife
Dahlia 'Sunrise' is a fantastic choice for supporting pollinators. Its abundant, nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, helping to sustain local ecosystems. While dahlias are not typically a primary food source for wildlife, their vibrant blooms provide a valuable late-season nectar boost when other flowers may be fading.
Care Tips
- Plant tubers in spring after the last frost, 15 cm deep.
- Water regularly but avoid waterlogging.
- Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
- Lift tubers in autumn and store frost-free over winter.
