Labyrinth Dahlia Tubers

Labyrinth: Decorative Dahlia Tubers

Labyrinth is a dahlia to lose yourself in: flamboyant and glamorous, the flowers, which easily reach 18cm in diameter, are big enough for some to call it a 'dinner plate'. They're awash with a shock of gently twisted linear petals in shades of sunset orange and rose pink.

The plant itself will grow to around 1m in height and is covered in fresh green foliage, with beautifully coloured, deep mahogany russet flower stems, which complements the flower colour wonderfully.

Like most dahlias, it's a good subject for cutting and bringing indoors to create vases of colour. The flowers last well and are really eye-catching.

Growing Labyrinth Dahlias

All dahlias do best in deep rich soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. If it's windy they'll need staking. They're greedy, thirsty plants so will need watering in dry spells, and they'll always flower that little bit better if there is a bit of soluble food in the watering can once every couple of weeks.

The weight of the flower heads make this one for a sheltered place. It's generally more convenient to put support stakes in at planting time, rather than leaving it until there is foliage in the way.

Garden Design Ideas

A good partner for could be the deep claret Rocco, which is smaller and so could be planted at the front of the border. Its neat pompom shape and rich jewelled tones would set Labyrinth off wonderfully. Or combine with wafting grasses with good autumn colour, or tall airy Verbena bonariensis, or even a few purple penstemons to bring out the colour of Labyrinth's stems.
