If you're after something a little different dahlia-wise, Honka Yellow is the one for you. Either planted in a sunny border or in a roomy pot on the patio, it will be a real talking point. We have plenty more in our dahlia range here.
She's a gorgeous little dahlia with delicate cartwheel, or star, shaped flowers in a pretty shade of soft yellow. There are eight slim petals on each bloom, radiating straight out from a deep golden centre, and rolling gently inwards towards the tip. The stems and foliage are mid-green.
Plant Honka en masse in bold drifts for the best effect. Mingle with ornamental grasses, tall Foeniculum vulgare, Verbena bonariensis, and yellow achillea for an airy combination that will look great from late summer onwards.
Alternatively, thread ribbons of Honka Yellow through other, more punchy dahlia cultivars, such as the golden pompom Sylvia, to get a wonderful contrast of colour and texture.
Always give dahlias a sunny spot. A west or south-facing border is ideal, or a big pot on a sun-drenched patio.
Dahlias need staking in early summer. Make your stakes a little shorter than the eventual height of the plant, so you won't notice them once the foliage grows up.
Dahlias are members of the Asteraceae family, along with sunflowers and daisies, and the star-shaped flowers of Honka have more in common with those cousins than many other varieties.
