Product description
Belonging to a spectacular dark-leafed collection, Dahlia Happy Days Halo produces a striking contrast between its near-black, bronze foliage and its single, open-faced flowers. These open blooms act as a brilliant landing pad for pollinators, making the plant both highly ornamental and beneficial to passing insects.
To keep this perennial blooming continuously, position it in a spot that receives full, direct sunlight and plant it in a rich, well-draining loam. Maintain a consistent watering schedule so the soil remains moist but never waterlogged, and aggressively deadhead any faded flowers to prevent seed production and encourage endless new buds.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
