Description
Let the calming colour of Dahlia 'Night Silence' bring a sense of tranquillity to your summer scheme. Throughout summer, watch as this prolific dahlia throws out bud after bud, each unfurling layers of silky petals which form the most luxurious blooms. Combined with dark bronze foliage, the flowers have an irresistible vintage appeal featuring mellow hues of cherry red and dusky raspberry. The captivating flowers of Dahlia 'Night Silence' are produced continuously throughout summer and into autumn. Not only are they a treasure to enjoy in borders and containers, but offer plentiful pickings to create effortlessly beautiful, relaxed indoor arrangements.
There’s an extra benefit to growing dark-leaved dahlia like Dahlia 'Night Silence'. The dark backdrop they provide will highlight the flowers of neighbouring plants as well as its own. Even before it starts flowering, the foliage brings contrasting colour to a planting scheme so you can enjoy a longer season of interest. Grow Dahlia 'Night Silence' in borders or large patio containers in full sun or partial shade, and remember to deadhead or cut the flowers regularly throughout the season. The more frequently the flowers are cut, the sooner they’ll produce more!
