Dahlia ‘Poodle Skirt’ is an eye-catching perennial renowned for its bright pink ruffled blooms that bring a playful and lively touch to any garden. Flowering profusely from midsummer to the first frost, this dahlia creates a vibrant display that is perfect for borders, containers, and cutting gardens. Its compact and bushy growth habit, reaching up to 60 cm in height, makes ‘Poodle Skirt’ an excellent choice for smaller garden spaces and patios. This dahlia pairs wonderfully with other summer-blooming plants such as marigolds, zinnias, and petunias, creating a colourful and dynamic garden scene. Additionally, ‘Poodle Skirt’ attracts bees and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.
Plant Care Guide
Dahlia ‘Poodle Skirt’ thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Plant tubers in the spring after the last frost, spacing them about 30 cm apart. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. In colder climates, lift and store tubers in a frost-free place over winter, replanting them the following spring.
