GENERAL DESCRIPTION
COLLARETTE DAHLIAS ARE CLASSIFIED BY THEIR FORM AND COLOUR. THE BLOOMS HAVE A SINGLE ROW OF RAY FLORETS THAT HAVE ROUNDED TIPS AND ARE ARRANGED ON A FLAT PLANE SURROUNDING A DISC FLOWER. ALL EIGHT RAY FLORETS SHOULD BE UNIFORM, SLIGHTLY CUPPED AND OVERLAP. COLLARETTES HAVE PETALOIDS THAT ARE LESS THAN HALF THE LENGTH OF THE ROSY FLORETS. THE PETALOIDS THAT SURROUND THE DISC FLOWER ARE USUALLY A DIFFERENT COLOUR THAN THE RAY FLORETS AND LOOK LIKE A COLLAR
THE RAY FLORETS OF “POOH” ARE ORANGE-RED TIPPED WITH YELLOW AND THE COLLAR IS YELLOW WITH A GOLDEN DISC. “POOH” IS AN INCREDIBLE GARDEN COLOUR AND HOLDS WELL AS A CUT FLOWER. IT IS A VERY PROLIFIC BLOOMER
THEY ARE WONDERFUL ADDITIONS TO SUMMER BOUQUETS. THE COLLARETTE DAHLIA “POOH” WILL FLOWER ALL SUMMER LONG AND GROWS UP TO 75 CM. DAHLIA BULBS ARE CALLED TUBERS
“POOH DAHLIA” HAS RECEIVED THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S AWARD OF GARDEN MERIT (AGM) WHICH IS FOR PLANTS OF OUTSTANDING EXCELLENCE
ALTHOUGH THE DAHLIA ORIGINATED IN MEXICO, IT FLOURISHES IN ALL SORTS OF CLIMATE, BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL WHETHER IT FLOWERS BETTER ANYWHERE THAN IN OUR COUNTRY. IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER IT CAN BE RELIED UPON TO PRODUCE AN EYE-CATCHING FEATURE IN ANY GARDEN. THE DAHLIA IS NOT PARTICULAR AS TO THE SOIL IN WHICH IT GROWS AND BLOOMS OF HIGH QUALITY CAN BE GROWN BY ANY NOVICE
DAHLIAS CAN BE GROWN IN AN HERBACEOUS BORDER, IN MIXED BEDS OR AS A DEDICATED DAHLIA DISPLAY. DAHLIAS ALSO DO VERY WELL WHEN GROWN IN LARGE POTS OR GARDEN BOXES. THIS IS A GOOD STRATEGY IF YOU HAVE LIMITED SPACE AND WANT TO USE DAHLIAS AS PATIO DECORATIONS. THEY DO BEST IN CONTAINERS THAT HOLD 30-35CM (12-14″) OF POTTING MEDIUM. SMALLER CONTAINERS WILL REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT WATERING.
