Dahlia 'Hollyhill Quintessence'

Dahlia 'Hollyhill Quintessence' bears full, semi-cactus, white-centred pink blooms. A seedling of classic show flower 'Pink Jupiter', 'Hollyhill Quintessence' is an excellent choice for growing in a mixed, herbaceous border, as well as exhibiting.

For best results, grow Dahlia 'Hollyhill Quintessence' in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Stake plants early on to protect blooms. Deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. In autumn, lift the tubers after the first frosts and store them in a cool, dry situation until March. Then pot them up and keep them in a temperate greenhouse before planting out in late May.
