Dahlia Cornel

Cornel Dahlias are exceptionally prolific, likely among the most flower-rich varieties we offer, and arguably the finest Red Ball type available!

Ball Type Dahlia’s are well known for their bally shaped flowers with soft rounded florets. Flowering up to 120 cm tall they are very easy to grow and provide a rewarding display with very little effort. Plant the tubers with the main growing tips just below the surface of the soil. Firm the soil around the tubers, being careful not to damage them.

Some taller varieties may need staking and an occasional spray with a fungicide is beneficial to control powdery mildew. To prolong the flowering, pluck off old flowers. This encourages further flowering. Cut back spent foliage to ground level each Autumn. Available any time from June to November and can be planted through to the end of the year.
