Dahlia ‘Topmix Yellow’ is a dwarf, single-flowered dahlia that produces bright, sunny yellow blooms about 4-6 cm in diameter from mid-summer until the first frost. Reaching just 45-50 cm in height, this bushy and compact variety doesn’t require staking. It is a perfect choice for adding long-lasting color to patios, borders, and containers while attracting pollinators. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Characteristics & Growing Tips
- Sun & Soil: Plant tubers in full sun with fertile, well-draining soil.
- Watering: Dahlias are susceptible to rot. Water thoroughly once established during summer, but avoid overwatering early on.
- Maintenance: Deadhead regularly to promote continuous blooming and feed with a potash-rich fertilizer.
- Overwintering: They are not winter hardy. Carefully lift the tubers after the first frost, dry them out, and store them in a cool, frost-free location for the winter. [1, 2, 3, 4]
