Dahlia Pink Umbrella brings abundant double flowers to a sunny border, with spoon-shaped white petals washed in pink and finished by dark pink edges. The upright plant reaches about two and a half feet tall and flowers from summer into fall.
Grow it in fertile, moist but well-drained soil where it receives full sun and shelter from strong wind. It suits flowering borders, patio containers, and cutting gardens. Water during dry weather, mulch with compost, and deadhead faded flowers to keep new buds developing.
The tuberous roots are perennial in mild gardens and are commonly grown as an annual elsewhere. Where winters are cold, lift and store healthy tubers after frost, then divide clumps with viable buds in spring.
