Dahlia Kick Off

Dahlia 'Kick Off' definitely stands out as a captivating addition to any garden, showing off blooms in a harmonious blend of salmon pink and coppery orange, with delicate golden yellow undertones that gleam in the sunlight. This Decorative Dahlia is perfect for those looking to beautify their garden with warm, cheerful hues that exude an inviting charm.

Growing to about 90-110 cm tall, Kick Off holds its impressive blooms on strong, upright stems, allowing them to sway gracefully without drooping. The dark green foliage acts as a perfect contrast, enhancing the brightness of the blooms and creating a vivid display. This dahlia begins its flowering season in mid-summer, continuing to bloom prolifically until the first frost, keeping your garden full of life when many other plants have faded.

A unique feature of Dahlia Kick Off is its multi-layered petals, creating a bloom that looks almost sculpted. Each petal contributes to an overall effect that shifts subtly as the light changes, highlighting the delicate transitions between salmon, orange, and golden hues. This dynamic blend makes it a standout choice for cut flower arrangements, providing long-lasting beauty indoors as well.

We supply premium Dahlia Kick Off tubers to British gardeners looking for something special to brighten their outdoor spaces. For the best display, plant the tubers in fertile, well-drained soil and choose a sunny position. Regular watering will help keep the plants healthy and blooming, and lifting the tubers before winter ensures they can be enjoyed year after year.

Dahlia Kick Off is more than just a flower; it’s a show of warmth and colour that will make your garden a place of enjoyment and delight all season long.
