‘Sun Explosion’ is a superb Dahlia, that is ready to bloom from July until November. It generates an abundance of huge, yellow and red flowers, that stand tall upon strong stems and a bushy growing habit of fresh green foliage. The perfect addition to cut flower, cottage and tropical themed landscapes, keep positioned in direct sunlight and enjoy its intense flower power! They will develop to a maximum height of 100cm and will spread to around 50cm. A magnificent dinner plate dahlia with whopping blooms, around 20cm in diameter, in a flaming mix of red and yellow. Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6") and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.
