Dahlia Decorative 'Sunlady': The Radiant Beacon of Summer Joy

Dahlia 'Sunlady' is a bright and uplifting garden masterpiece, celebrated for its perfectly formed, decorative blooms in a shade of pure, saturated lemon-yellow. Each flower is a symmetrical wonder, featuring layers of neatly rounded, velvety petals that radiate outward from a dense, lime-tinted heart. Set against lush, vibrant green foliage, the "Sunlady" lives up to her name by acting as a natural spotlight, bringing a sense of warmth, clarity, and unbridled cheer to the garden. This variety is the ultimate choice for those looking to inject constant sunshine into their borders, offering a prolific and tidy display that remains crisp and brilliant from mid-summer right through the golden days of autumn.

Key Features

• Luminous Canary-Yellow Blooms: The colour is exceptionally clean and bright, lacking any muddy tones. It provides a sharp, refreshing contrast when planted alongside deep purples, hot reds, or cool blues.

• Classic Decorative Form: Features the iconic dahlia silhouette with broad, slightly recurved petals that create a full, formal, and deeply satisfying flower head.

• Tireless Flowering Power: 'Sunlady' is known for her incredible stamina. As a "cut-and-come-again" variety, the more you harvest for vases, the more new buds she will produce, ensuring a relentless supply of yellow blossoms.

• Sturdy and Reliable: With strong, upright stems and a well-branched habit, this dahlia holds its sunny heads high, making it a dependable performer for both the garden border and large patio containers.

Gardener's Tip

Because the bright yellow blooms of Dahlia 'Sunlady' are so attractive, they can sometimes be a target for earwigs or slugs in early summer. To keep your "Sunlady" looking pristine, keep the area around the base clear of debris. A clever old-fashioned trick is to place an upturned flower pot filled with damp straw on a stake nearby; earwigs will crawl inside during the night, allowing you to remove them in the morning and keep your yellow petals flawless and hole-free!
