Quick Guide

• Compact, ball-shaped blooms

• Vibrant orange-red flowers

• Long blooming season

• Ideal for borders and containers

• Attracts pollinators

Dahlia ‘New Baby’ is a delightful perennial that adds a burst of colour to any garden with its compact, ball-shaped blooms. The flowers start as a bright tangerine and mature to a vivid vermillion, creating a striking display against the plant’s dark green foliage. This dahlia variety typically reaches a height of 80 cm, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and mixed flower beds.

Flowering from mid-summer until the first frost, ‘New Baby’ provides continuous colour throughout the growing season. The neat, double blooms, approximately 5 cm in diameter, are perfect for cutting, making ‘New Baby’ a favourite for floral arrangements. Pair it with plants like asters, zinnias, and marigolds to create a vibrant, pollinator-friendly garden that will attract bees and butterflies.

Plant Care Guide

Dahlia ‘New Baby’ thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Stake the plants to support the tall stems and prevent wind damage. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. In colder regions, lift and store the tubers over winter, or mulch heavily if left in the ground in warmer areas. Watch for common pests like aphids and slugs and treat them promptly.
