The XXL Aztec dahlia collection comprises dwarf bedding dahlias with large, decorative flower heads over a very long season. Choose from a wide range of flower colours.
All varieties in the Dahlia 'XXL Aztec' series are ideal for growing in pots on the patio, where they will bloom from May to September. They are also suitable for growing at the front of a border.
For best results, grow Dahlia 'XXL Aztec' 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.
