Dahlia 'Peaches and Vanilla'

Glowing against dark green foliage, the perfectly formed flowers of Dahlia 'Peaches and Vanilla' combine creamy orange and blush pink in a manner reminiscent of soft, sunset skies. Reaching just 50 to 60cm and with flowers no more than 10cm across, 'Peaches and Vanilla is a dainty, delicate dahlia perfect for weaving through the front of a border or using in a container display. Its wonderfully warm tones mix easily with other ‘hot’ colours; think the rich coral of Dahlia ‘American Dawn’, the burnt orange of Rudbeckia 'Cherokee Sunset', and the hot magenta of Astilbe 'Vision Volano'.  

Blooming long and hard, Dahlia 'Peaches and Vanilla can flower for up to half the year (June to November) and is invaluable in providing colour and vibrancy when all else is beginning to tire. For an extra bushy and floriferous plant, pinch out the growing tip when around 20cm tall to just above the top set of leaves.
