Dahlia Sunny Boy
3 tubers for € 8.35
Variety from 1987 (Schwieters, Wilhelm -Germany)
(Ball Dahlia)
Seeing this dahlia made me spontaneously think of a good old hit by Boney M
“Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet (that sweet bouquet)
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way”
I think this captures well the effect that Dahlia Sunny Boy evokes. A lovely full summer yellow color with cherry red accents in the center.
The Ball dahlia is very similar to the Pompon but a bit larger. The Ball dahlia is available in many different varieties and colors and grows about 80 to 100 cm tall. The diameter of the flower is 8 to 12 cm.
They provide you with flowers to enjoy all summer long.
In 1789, a number of dahlias were sent from Mexico to the botanical garden in Madrid with the message to serve them as food. They were not very popular at that time. That changed when Joséphine de Beauharnais, wife of Napoleon, impulsively had her garden planted full of dahlias. She set the trend, and from that moment on, everyone wanted these flirtatious ladies in their garden. Until they suddenly became affordable due to their high demand. The status changed from 'popular' to 'common'. For a long time, the charming dahlia had to deal with this undeserved status, but fortunately, it has been rediscovered! This lady is once again very hot in the garden.
When the chance of (night) frost has passed, dahlia tubers can be planted.
Dig a planting hole where the dahlia tuber fits comfortably and cover it with a few centimeters of soil. Plant the tuber with the piece of old stem facing up.
Dahlias love nutrient-rich soil. You can enrich poor garden soil by mixing compost into the planting hole. They are true sun lovers, so plant them in a sunny spot.
Do you want to enjoy a sea of endless flowers for as long as possible? Then cut away the faded dahlia flowers. This ensures that the dahlia keeps producing new flowers.
Do you not have a garden, but have a balcony or terrace? Then you too can enjoy lush flowers. Dahlias do perfectly in pots and planters.
