Dahlia 'Kelvin Floodlight'
Decorative dahlias bear fully double flowerheads and are commonly seen on the show bench.
Dahlia 'Kelvin Floodlight' is tall growing and produces enormous, bright yellow flowers. It's ideal for growing in a large, sunny border, as well as the cuttings patch. It makes a spectacular cut flower.
For best results, grow Dahlia 'Kelvin Floodlight' in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. Lift tubers after the first frosts and store them in a cool, dry situation until March. Then pot them up and keep them in a temperate greenhouse before planting out in late May.
