Mermaid Starfish

Mermaid Starfish
DAHLIA

A break-through in Dahlia breeding and the first exciting release in Kiwi Flora’s new series of Dahlias, bred by renowned and revered New Zealand plant breeder, Dr Keith Hammett. Dahlia Mermaid Series present with a distinctive, deeply dissected foliage type, reminiscent of a mermaid’s fishtail. Dahlia Mermaid ‘Starfish’ is just as intriguing as the real thing! Delicious tomato-red petals are slightly undulating, giving them a sense of movement. Strong stems, held well above the foliage are excellent for picking. Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot, in well-drained soil in garden borders, or in containers to brighten up deck and patio areas for the summer / autumn season.
