Dahlia Happy Days Purple

Thought you didn’t have space to grow dahlias? Think again! Dahlia ‘Happy Days Purple’ is a compact dwarf variety that was bred with pots, window boxes and small beds in mind. Vivid violet-purple flowers positively pop against the backdrop of stunning, deep purple-bronze foliage. Flowering from June to September, this bushy dwarf dahlia is great for cutting and will attract bees and butterflies to your garden. Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 25cm (10in).

. Pot up Dahlia plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise dahlia plants to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting out in beds, borders and containers. Choose a position in full sun on any rich fertile, moist, well drained soil.
