Dahlia labyrinth Twotone

A new version of a much-loved favourite, Dahlia‘Labyrinth Two Tone’ bears the same shaggy, dinnerplate-sized blooms as its parent, though offers a different colour scheme of soft lilac pink, violet and white. The big, showy blooms of Dahlia ‘Labyrinth Two Tone’ measure up to 20cm across, and are produced from midsummer right up until the first frosts. There can be few more hardworking plants in the border!

Dahlias with particularly large flowers such as this can often use a little help to stay upright. Whether you go for the natural approach of inserting a network of cut branches into the ground, or prefer reusable, metal supports; try and get your Dahlia ‘Labyrinth Two Tone’ installed early in the growing season. Prevention is better than cure when it comes to supporting plants! Choosing the sunniest spot possible will also help in encouraging strong, sturdy growth, as ‘Labyrinth Two Tone’ dahlias grown in partial shade tend to be leggy and weak.
