Dahlia ‘Red Pygmy’ is a striking perennial celebrated for its vivid red blooms that add a bold splash of colour to any garden. This dwarf variety flowers abundantly from midsummer until the first frost, creating a continuous display of vibrant red flowers. With a compact growth habit, reaching up to 45 cm in height, ‘Red Pygmy’ is perfect for borders, containers, and small garden spaces. It pairs beautifully with other summer-flowering plants such as marigolds, zinnias, and petunias, creating a lively and harmonious garden display. The plant also attracts bees and butterflies, contributing to a diverse and dynamic garden ecosystem.

Plant Care Guide

Dahlia ‘Red Pygmy’ 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.

Creating an urban paradise

Our dream is to transform urban living into a plant lovers' paradise. Making our neighbourhoods a wonderful place is good for our wellbeing and more friendly to the environment. A shared vision that gets us out of bed in the morning.

We've curated a botanical sanctuary
