Rejmans Firecracker Dahlia Tubers
‘Rejmans Firecracker’ is a Fimbriated decorative dahlia with beautiful double blooms in a warm, orange colour, streaked with red and yellow. The petals are linear and split (‘fimbriated’), creating a beautifully soft, almost fuzzy, fringed effect. This dahlia has a bushy, upright growth with dark green, pinnate leaves. The flowers are carried on strong upright stems, making them ideal for cutting.

Dahlia ‘Rejmans Firecracker’ can reach up to 1.1 metres in height and 60 centimetres in spread.
Dahlia ‘Rejmans Firecracker’ makes an excellent cut flower. The buds will not open after picking so the blooms are best cut once they are fully open. Picking first thing in the morning or late evening (when moisture content is high) will significantly extend the life of cut flowers, as will conditioning the freshly cut stems in a few centimetres of hot, not quite boiling water, for an hour or so before arranging.
Dahlias are members of the Asteraceae family of plants. They are clump-forming deciduous tuberous perennials with pinnate leaves and showy flowers in summer and autumn. Dahlias are divided into 14 groups according to their flower shape; ‘Rejmans Firecracker’ belongs to Group 11 and is classed as a Fimbriated Dahlia. Dahlias are toxic to cats and dogs.
Dahlias are easy to grow and generally free of pests and diseases. You might occasionally need to tackle pests such as slugs and earwigs and diseases such as powdery mildew but good gardening practices, such as appropriate weeding and feeding, together with our range of organic garden products will help keep your dahlias healthy.
