Description
Dahlia Alauna Clair-Obscur is a captivating Fimbriata Dahlia variety, known for its striking color contrast and ruffled petal texture. The large, shaggy blooms showcase deep plum to candy pink petals, elegantly tipped with luminescent white edges, creating a mesmerizing display that stands out in any garden. The twisted, serrated petal ends resemble pinking shears, adding depth, movement, and a touch of wild beauty to your floral arrangements.
This variety is perfect for adding drama and vibrancy to flower beds, borders, and containers. Whether planted alongside neater cactus dahlias for contrast or mixed with soft pinks and whites for a harmonious blend, Alauna Clair-Obscur brings dynamic texture and color to outdoor spaces. Its impressive height of up to 1 meter makes it an ideal backdrop in garden borders or a stunning focal point in patio containers.
Not just a garden showstopper, these dahlias are also exceptional cut flowers. Their long vase life and continual blooming—encouraged by regular picking—ensure you’ll have plenty of vibrant blooms to enjoy both indoors and out. The more you cut, the more they grow, providing a constant supply of fresh flowers throughout the season.
For the best results, plant Dahlia Alauna Clair-Obscur tubers in a sunny spot with moist, well-drained soil. Plant from March to June, after the danger of frost has passed, at a depth of 10 cm with spacing of about 60 cm apart. After planting, water thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture during the summer with one good soak per week at the base. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous flowering right through to the first frost.
