Dahlia 'Roxy'
Dahlia 'Roxy' is a compact dahlia, bearing incredible deep magenta-pink flowers over red-green foliage, from late-spring to early autumn. Its size and length of flowering make it the perfect choice for smaller gardens, where it's well suited to growing towards the front of the herbaceous border, or in pots.
For best results, grow Dahlia 'Roxy' in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Unless you live in a particularly exposed area, there is no need to stake 'Roxy'. 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.
