Bred for effortless flowering and exceptional performance in South African conditions, they deliver long-lasting colour from early season right through the warmer months. Easy to grow and wonderfully reliable, they thrive in full sun, settle quickly into well-draining soil or quality potting mix, and reward consistent watering with a steady stream of perfectly formed blooms.

Growing tips
Give Dalaya Dahlias plenty of sun, plant them in rich, well-draining soil or quality potting mix, and keep the soil lightly moist without waterlogging. A gentle, regular feed keeps blooms coming, while removing spent flowers encourages even more colour. A sheltered spot and a little snail protection help young plants stay strong and healthy.
