A decorative-type, peachy dahlia that blends to veined apricot and unfurls like miniature calla lilies from a raspberry clustered centre. ‘Labyrinth’ is an intoxicating and flamboyant plant whose flower can reach up to 18cm (7”) across and looks fabulous in a cut flower vase, or as a companion plant with a foil of background foliage such as bronze fennel or purple Cotinus. - Garden care: Dahlia tubers can be planted outside after frost, or started off in pots under glass in late winter to early spring. Plant them horizontally approximately 12cm deep, making sure the ‘eyes’ are uppermost. Allow enough room between each tuber so the plants can grow and spread to their full size without being overcrowded. While in growth, provide a high-nitrogen liquid feed each week in June, then a high-potash fertiliser each week from July to September. Stake with canes or brushwood if it becomes necessary. In mild areas, leave them in situ over winter, but protect the crown with a generous layer of dry mulch. In colder areas, carefully lift and clean the tubers once the first frosts have blackened the foliage and allow them to dry naturally indoors. Then place the dry tubers in a shallow tray, just covered with slightly moist potting compost, sand or vermiculite and store in a frost-free place until planting out again.
