An exuberant mix of charming dwarf dahlias, producing an abundance of blooms from July until late autumn. Our Dahlia ‘Topmix Mixed’ collection contains a variety of pretty, petite dahlias which bear single flowers in a range of fashionable colours. Plant together in a garden border, or split the set up to spread throughout the garden and fill pots with long-lasting colour.
‘Topmix’ mixed dahlias have been bred for their versatility and high production of simple, pollinator-friendly flowers. Mixes well in a large container and garden border with taller dahlia varieties; grow next to anemone-flowered dahlias and the single ‘Bishop’ series for a wildlife-friendly, colourful show.
de Jager's top size, top quality dahlia tubers are supplied polythene bags, in which they may be safely kept until planting time, stored in a cool place.
To grow Dahlias, select a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and dig a 30 cm deep hole.
Plant the tuber 10 cm below the soil surface, spacing multiple tubers 45 cm apart, or 90 cm for taller varieties.
Water consistently, maintaining moist but not saturated soil and protect new shoots from slug damage with eco-friendly methods. Feed plants during the blooming period with liquid plant food.
Provide support for stems which will reach 60-90 cm tall depending on variety. Enjoy spectacular blooms from late summer until first frosts. Cut or deadhead the flowers regularly for a continually flourishing display.
Once blooming has finished, cut back foliage before lifting, drying and storing the tubers in peat-free substitute, in a frost-free place until the following spring.
