This dahlia is perfect for adding elegance to garden borders or containers, where its intricate blooms can be fully appreciated.

This variety blooms from mid-summer to autumn, providing a continuous display of flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. ‘Honka Fragile’ typically reaches a height of 70-80 cm and a spread of around 60-80 cm, making it a suitable choice for various garden settings, including cottage gardens, mixed perennial borders, and contemporary designs. Its graceful form pairs well with plants like Cosmos, Salvia, and Lavender, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your garden.

Plant Care Guide

Dahlia ‘Honka Fragile’ thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Add compost or organic matter to enrich the soil and provide a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.

Stake the plants to support their tall stems and protect them from wind damage. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will encourage continuous blooming. At the end of the season, lift the tubers and store them in a cool, dry place over winter, or mulch heavily if left in the ground in warmer regions.

For a contemporary look, consider using an Elho pot cover, or opt for a classic ceramic or basket type for a more traditional style.
