Dahlia Temptation 'Pink Bicolour' (Pot Size 1L) sold by Boma Garden Centre

A showy patio dahlia whose hot-pink and white bicolour petals sit against unusually dark, almost-black foliage for a striking contrast on any sunny terrace.The semi-double flowers open in succession from early summer right through to the first frosts, and the tidy, upright habit needs no staking in a pot. Grow it in full sun in any fertile, moisture-retentive soil and deadhead spent blooms to keep the colour coming.Compact enough for a 1L pot yet generous with flower, it earns a place at the front of a border or massed in containers, and the open centres draw in bees and butterflies.
