Description
The Dahlia Decorative ‘Who Dun It’ is a stunning, bi-coloured variety that produces large purple and white flowers with an enchanting color transition from lilac to mauve to lavender blue, finally giving way to pure white petals. This sturdy, vibrant plant bears numerous double flowering blooms that are perfect for adding a dramatic flair to sunny garden borders or as striking cut flowers.
Ideal for large containers or flower beds, this Dahlia thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil and requires a sunny location for optimal growth and maximum flowering impact. Plant tubers between March and June, about 15 cm deep and 60 cm apart, ensuring they have enough space to grow to a height of 100 cm with a spread of 60 cm.
Once planted, water well and aim for a weekly soak at the base of the plant. For even bigger and brighter blooms, use an all-purpose plant feed. Deadhead regularly to extend the blooming season until the first frosts, and cut back to near ground level in autumn before storing the tubers for the winter.
