Description
Dahlia 'Alauna Clair-Obscur' is a captivating Fimbriata Dahlia variety, known for its striking colour contrast and ruffled petal texture. The large, shaggy blooms showcase deep plum to candy pink petals, elegantly tipped with luminescent white edges#. 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. Plant alongside neater cactus dahlias for contrast or mixed with soft pinks and whites for a harmonious blend, 'Alauna Clair-Obscur' brings dynamic texture and colour 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, ensure you’ll have plenty of vibrant blooms all summer. 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' in a sunny spot with moist, well-drained soil. Plant from March to June at a depth of 10 cm with spacing of about 60 cm apart.
