Description
Dahlia ‘Purex’ is a stunning anemone-type hybrid that showcases vibrant hot pink petals surrounding a fluffy pincushion centre dusted with yellow pollen. The floral structure is elegant and textured, with outer flat rays framing the dense central disc. Blooms are produced on long, strong stems, making this variety excellent for cut flowers, garden display, or mixed borders.
This plant grows to about 1.0-1.2 metres tall, flowering from mid-season through to first frost in warm climates. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. In cooler or frost-prone areas, lifting and storing tubers over winter will help ensure it returns strong the next season.
