Product description
Dahlia Honka Fragile brings a beautifully light, airy touch to the garden, with its slender, star shaped petals creating a delicate, almost floating effect. The white blooms are edged with red and feel refined and understated, adding gentle movement and a sense of calm to borders, beds, and containers. This variety is perfect if you enjoy a more natural, graceful style of planting, offering a long season of soft colour and elegant structure from mid-summer into autumn.
Caring for Dahlia Honka Fragile is pleasantly simple. Plant the tubers in spring in well drained soil and choose a sunny, sheltered spot where they can stretch upwards and flower freely. Keep them watered during dry spells and feed regularly to support strong stems and continuous blooms. As autumn descends, lift and store the tubers in a frost free place, or mulch well in milder areas. With just a little attention, this Dahlia rewards you year after year with its delicate, star like flowers and quietly striking presence in the garden.

Top Tip
Cutting the flowers regularly encourages Dahlias to keep producing fresh blooms, giving you a longer and more abundant display. Taking stems for the vase also helps redirect the plant’s energy into new growth, so you enjoy even richer colour throughout the season.
How to Water
Dahlias appreciate steady moisture, so aim to keep the soil consistently damp without letting it become waterlogged. Deep watering once or twice a week is usually enough to help the tubers develop strong roots.
How to Plant
Plant Dahlia tubers in spring once the soil has warmed, placing them around 10-15cm deep with the growing points facing upward. Give each bulb plenty of space so the plant can develop strong stems and a full display of blooms. Water well after planting to help them settle in.
