Desert Gem - Dahlia Tuber

2025 Pre order - shipped from mid-September. Supplied as a dormant tuber.

Desert Gem has large purple-magenta cactus type blooms held on tall stems. A very striking flower

Dahlias prefer a full sun to part shade location and should be planted out after the risk of frost has passed. With continuous dead heading Dahlias will bloom from summer up until late autumn early winter.

You don’t need to water your Dahlias in after planting, just keep them moist once they start to grow above the ground. Adding a slow-release tomato fertiliser in early summer and some Sulphate of Potash, then a mulch will help get the best of the blooms.

Ships to anywhere in Australia excluding WA, NT and TAS. Ships from September.
