Zack. And in love.
With its wonderful pale pink color and long stems, "Sweet Nathalie" is a favorite of florists. But it is not just a great cut flower...
It blooms luxuriantly and for a long time and makes every flowerbed shine. Despite its delicate appearance, "Sweet Nathalie" is a healthy and robust dahlia.
Tip: Pinch dahlias as soon as they are 20 to 30 cm high: simply shorten the shoot tip by a third. Then they will form several shoots, more flowers and become bushier.

🐝 Dahlias are often wrongly described as flowers that are not insect-friendly. However, as soon as the flowers open - even if they are densely filled - they release their stamens and are accessible to bees and other insects.
Flower happiness guarantee: You should enjoy your dahlias 100%. Sometimes, however, nature does what it wants and that is actually quite nice, but not always in the interest of us gardeners. In rare cases, a tuber does not sprout. If this is the case for you, please contact me! We will find a solution 💚
