Description
Dahlia ‘Cornflake’ is a showy decorative-type dahlia with unique bi-colour blooms: soft apricot or warm yellow-orange petals tipped with crisp white edges. Each flower is around 14-18 cm across, held on upright plants reaching approximately 1.2-1.5 m (4-5 ft) tall. It blooms prolifically from summer through until autumn, making it perfect for garden beds, borders, and cut flowers.
This Dahlia loves full sun or part shade, rich well-draining soil, and regular feeding. Tubers are planted after frost risk passes and may need support (stakes) for taller stems. Deadheading spent flowers encourages more bloom cycles throughout the season.
