Description
Dahlia ‘Dandy Mix’ (Dahlia variabilis) is a cheerful, compact bedding dahlia that produces a profusion of brightly coloured, single and semi-double blooms from summer through to autumn. The flowers come in a lively mix of pinks, reds, yellows, oranges, purples, and whites — each with a sunny yellow centre that’s irresistible to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
A bushy, free-flowering annual to short-lived perennial, ‘Dandy Mix’ is easy to grow and perfect for borders, pots, and cutting gardens. It thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soil with regular moisture and feeding during the growing season. Deadheading encourages continuous blooming. In frost-prone regions, treat as an annual or lift and store tubers over winter; in mild areas, it may regrow in spring.
‘Dandy Mix’ brings long-lasting colour, pollinator value, and old-fashioned charm to cottage and edible gardens alike — equally at home among herbs, vegetables, and other cheerful summer bloomers.
