Plant Size Note

Tuber size, shape and eye development may vary naturally. Flowering time, height and bloom size will depend on planting time, climate, soil, water, fertilising and care.

Flower Colour and Form

Dahlia ‘Pink Show’ produces bright pink to bubblegum-pink blooms.

Flower form may appear rounded, ball-like or miniature decorative depending on growing conditions and flower maturity. Bloom size is generally small to medium compared with large decorative or dinnerplate dahlias.

Growth Habit and Mature Size

‘Pink Show’ forms an upright, bushy plant with multiple flowering stems.

Mature Height: Approximately 75cm to 1.5m
Mature Width: Approximately 50–90cm

Staking is recommended, especially in windy gardens or when grown in rich soil.

Planting and Care

Plant dahlia tubers after the risk of frost has passed and the soil has started to warm.

Choose a full sun position with fertile, well-drained soil. In very hot areas, light afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress.

Plant the tuber horizontally with the eye or growing point facing upward. Cover with approximately 5–10cm of soil.

Water lightly after planting, then avoid keeping the dormant tuber too wet before active growth begins. Once shoots are growing, water more regularly.

Soil, Watering and Feeding

Dahlias prefer rich, well-drained soil improved with compost or aged organic matter.

Water regularly during active growth, especially once buds and flowers are forming. Avoid waterlogged soil, as dormant tubers may rot if kept too wet.

Feed during active growth with a balanced fertiliser or flower-focused fertiliser. Avoid excessive high-nitrogen feeding, which may encourage leafy growth over flowers.

Flowering Season

Dahlia ‘Pink Show’ flowers from summer through autumn.

Regular picking and deadheading encourages continued flowering through the season.

Climate and Hardiness

Dahlias grow well in many Australian climates when planted after frost risk has passed.

They are frost tender. In frost-prone areas, tubers are usually lifted and stored after the foliage dies back. In mild and frost-free climates, tubers may be left in the ground if drainage is excellent.

Protect young shoots from frost, snails and slugs.

Growing in Pots

‘Pink Show’ can be grown in a large pot.

Use a quality potting mix, choose a container with excellent drainage and stake the plant early to avoid damaging the tuber later.

Pet Safety

Dahlias are toxic to pets if eaten and may cause irritation or digestive upset.

Keep tubers, leaves, flowers and trimmed material away from dogs, cats and other pets that chew plants.
