Dahlia x hortensis ‘Lubega Dark Red Glow’ is a captivating variety that stands out in any garden with its stunning, deep red flowers. These blooms are not only visually striking but also contribute a sense of drama and richness to summer and autumn landscapes. The plant itself boasts a compact and sturdy growth habit, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add bold color without overwhelming their space. The fully double flowers, characterized by their vibrant, glowing hue, create a spectacular display that can elevate the aesthetic of any garden setting.

Flowering typically begins in mid-summer and continues until the first frosts, ensuring a prolonged period of vibrant color. This variety thrives in full sun, which is essential for achieving the best flowering results. The lush, dark green foliage complements the rich blooms beautifully, creating a harmonious visual appeal. To promote healthy growth, it is important to plant ‘Lubega Dark Red Glow’ in well-drained, fertile soil that is enriched with organic matter. Regular watering is crucial, particularly during dry spells, to keep the plant vigorous and flourishing throughout the growing season.

In addition to its ornamental value, this dahlia variety is also beneficial for the ecosystem, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies, which enhances garden biodiversity. It is versatile enough to be used in borders, containers, or as part of cut flower arrangements, making it a favorite among both amateur and experienced gardeners. For those in colder regions of the UK, it is advisable to lift the tubers and store them in a frost-free environment over the winter months to ensure their survival and continued beauty in the following growing season. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage ongoing blooming, allowing you to enjoy the vibrant display for as long as possible. Height: 80 cm (31 in) Spread: 50 cm (20 in)

Plant dahlias outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist, rich, fertile but well drained soil.

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
