Product description
Bred specifically for a compact, bushy habit, Dahlietta Rachael is a dwarf tuberous perennial that creates a dense mound of classic green foliage topped with fully double blooms. Because of its tightly controlled size, it is incredibly well-suited for container gardening, offering maximum visual impact without sprawling out of its designated space.
For the best results, provide a rich, fertile potting mix and ensure the container is placed in a bright, sunny location. Keep the root zone evenly hydrated by watering whenever the top layer of compost feels dry to the touch, and frequently pinch off spent flowers to redirect the plant's energy into producing fresh growth.
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.

Instructions
Top Tip
To encourage a bushier, tighter shape, pinch out the very top growing tip of your Dahlietta Rachael shortly after planting, which forces the stems to branch outward and ultimately produces a much denser display of blooms.
How to Water
As Dahlietta Rachael requires consistent hydration to fuel its rapid growth, you must check the compost regularly and water it deeply whenever the top layer feels slightly dry, taking care not to let it sit in stagnant puddles.
How to Plant
For the best start, position your Dahlietta Rachael into a high-quality, fertile potting mix, packing the soil gently around the roots and in an area bathed in uninterrupted sunlight.
