This organic Dahlia ‘Peebles’ brings a soft, warm colour to the garden. The rich, double flowers open in a fresh yellow and fade to a light, almost cream-coloured shade on the outer petals. As a result, the flower creates a warm and light atmosphere, without trying to steal the show.
A real asset
Standing around 120 centimetres tall, ‘Peebles’ makes a sturdy addition to the centre or back of a sunny border. The flowers grow to around 12 centimetres in size and stand out beautifully amongst airy perennials and ornamental grasses. Combine it, for example, with white, soft pink, light blue or deep purple for a natural and balanced look. This will give your garden a lovely, charming feel.
The one that brings it all together
Thanks to its long stems, this organic dahlia is also ideal for cutting to make a bouquet. Its subtle flower colour combines easily with all sorts of other dahlias and summer flowers. In a bouquet, ‘Peebles’ adds a light and soft touch, whilst its full bloom provides plenty of character. She really brings the bouquet together and also gets the chance to shine herself.
Work hard, play hard
By regularly cutting a few stems to display indoors, you encourage the plant to form new flower buds. Whilst you’re at it, don’t forget to remove the spent flowers straight away – this allows the plant to channel all its energy into those new buds, so you can enjoy even more blooms. If the tall stems are in an open or windy spot, provide some support in advance to prevent them from toppling over, so you can enjoy this special new variety from summer right through to autumn.
