Dahlia ‘Burlesca’
Dahlia ‘Burlesca’ is one of my most favourite Dahlias, its smaller size makes it perfect for arranging and seems to change colour with the light.
Coral peach Pompon is a must grow in my garden every year, I could not be without it!
Perfect for patio pots and containers as well as planted in the garden.
You will have seen it in my videos planted alongside ‘Caitlin’s Joy’
Growing up to 80cm tall ‘Burlesca’ is an excellent choice for the smaller garden.
You can find all the information you need for growing Dahlia’s here on our Video Hub!

Cutting /Vase Life:
Dahlias do not continue to open once cut so pick when blooms are ¾ of the way open. Check the back of the flower head to check all the petals are perfect. The petals turn papery, drop and lose colour once they start to go over. Deadhead flowers to give plants back the energy to ripen the next flower rather than work on producing seed.
Place flowers straight into ready buckets of water, we rest our blooms for a few hours in water, this is called conditioning.
