Pink has the reputation of being a somewhat softer colour, Pink Isa does her utmost to make an exception to this rule. As fiery as possible, this perky Dahlia, with an explosion of flowers, lets the pink come into the picture. Every year, Pink Isa makes me stand still when she blooms among the hundreds of Dahlias in the show garden of De Tulperij in Voorhout. Her flowers are not large, certainly not small, but they are so numerous and so fresh and fruity in colour, you simply cannot ignore her. A Dahlia that does her sheer best to be as beautiful as possible simply deserves a place in the Fluwel webshop.

Dahlias
The Dahlia truly deserves every bit of love she receives. Every gardener should be placing her om a pedestal: Dahlias carry flowers for a long time, and in a large number. Even when autumn is approaching, you don’t need to worry: the Dahlia will be there to give your garden those last few rays of sunshine.
Planting dahlias:
Dahlias are summer bloomers and should be planted in spring, after the last night frost, when the soil temperature is at least 15°C. Plant the tubers about 40 cm apart for tall varieties and 30 cm for shorter varieties. For pots, choose very large pots, because dahlias need a lot of water in the warm summer months. Plant them just under the soil, about 2 cm deep.
Dahlia care
When your Dahlia is a few weeks old and has formed 3 or 4 pairs of leaves, you can choose to pinch out the top growth point. This may sound strange, disturbing a plant in its growth, but it ensures that the Dahlia becomes more compact and fuller in shape. Because the growth point has been pinched out, 2 new stems emerge from the leaf axils of the two leaves below. So you get a fuller Dahlia in return. If you do this, you will delay the first flowering of the Dahlia by about a week.
