Overview
Dahlia Decorative 'Lucky Number': The Giant Lavender-Pink Showstopper
Dahlia Decorative 'Lucky Number' is a magnificent and high-impact garden giant, famous for producing colossal, fully double blooms in a stunning shade of clear lavender-pink. This variety is a true "head-turner," featuring perfectly arranged, velvety petals that form massive, globe-like flower heads. The vibrant, candy-toned pink is exceptionally bright, making the plant stand out vividly against its robust, dark green architectural foliage. Reaching an impressive height, 'Lucky Number' is designed for those who want to make a bold statement, bringing a sense of grandeur and tropical luxury to the back of borders or creating a spectacular focal point in large garden displays.
Key Features
-
Massive "Giant" Blooms: This variety is prized for the sheer scale of its flowers. The decorative, rounded heads are significantly larger than standard dahlias, offering a "wow-factor" that is hard to beat.
-
Luminous Lavender-Pink: The petals possess a beautiful, clean pink tone with a hint of cool lavender, ensuring the flowers look fresh and glowing even during the height of a mid-summer heatwave.
-
Towering Architectural Presence: With its sturdy, tall stems, 'Lucky Number' provides excellent vertical interest. It is the perfect choice for adding height and structure to the garden while providing a dense screen of greenery.
-
A Cut-Flower Champion: Due to the incredible size of the blooms and their long, strong stems, a single flower can fill a vase. It is a favorite for dramatic floral arrangements and exhibition-style displays.
Gardener's Tip
"Because Dahlia 'Lucky Number' produces such enormous, heavy flower heads on tall stems, it is essential to provide sturdy support before the plant reaches its full height. Use a strong timber stake or a dedicated dahlia cage at the time of planting to avoid piercing the tubers later. As the plant grows, use soft garden twine to tie the main stems to the support every 30 cm. This ensures that a summer rain shower won't weigh down those giant lavender blooms, keeping your 'Lucky Number' standing tall and proud all season long.
