Details
Dahlia ‘Lubega Dark Velvet’ is a dark-leaved Dahlia with simple, cerise-pink flowers with a dark-purple centre on upright stems that are produced over a long period from summer until the first frosts. Growing to only 45cm tall, it is perfect for the front of the border or growing in containers in full sun. We highly recommend this Dahlia as it never stops flowering.

Plant Care
Plug plants are small, young plants grown in cell trays. Even the largest plug plants, described as extra-large or jumbo, are still small plants from cell trays and not established plants. Plug plants can be great value compared to buying more established plants however they may need some extra care to get them started.
Caring for Plug Plants
We recommend starting plug plants in a small pot and not planting directly into open ground or large pots/planters. You will want a plant pot roughly the size of a tea mug, commonly referred to as 7cm or 9cm pots. Ensure the pot has plenty of holes underneath and preferably over two tiers for even better drainage.
Reduced PlasticsIn order to lessen our environmental impact, all of our plants will be removed from their plastic cell trays or pots before sending. Ensure you are ready to pot your plants when they arrive.
