Nuit d'Ete Cactus Dahlia

Nuit D'Ete is one of the darkest Dahlias available and sure to add contrast to any cut flower garden!

Cactus Dahlias are easy to recognize by the profusion of florets that gently roll outwards. These narrowly pointed petals give them a spidery, cactus-like look. Expect blooms up to 10 in – 25 cm in size. Originating from Mexico and Guatemala, these were the flowers of Inca kings and despite their royal origins Dahlias are among the easiest plants to grow in the garden.

They are a wonderful source of cut flowers and will provide a veritable cornucopia of colourful blooms for your bouquets from mid summer until the first frost. Easy to grow as they are, Dahlias are susceptible to cold so be careful not to plant them too early and be sure to dig them up after the first frost and store them in a frost-free place.
