Embrace the pastels or use Dahlia 'Mondriaan' to add a contrasting highlight among darker tones. This dahlia not only brings subtle, soft colour to the garden, but a touch of understated elegance to bouquets too. This classy decorative dahlia features semi-double blooms in a soft shade of lemon cream washed with pink on its outer petals. Its beautifully-formed flowers are long-lasting and perfectly sized for flower arranging. The soft pastel tones of Dahlia 'Mondriaan' are easy to match with other gentle colours, and create a calming and peaceful mood in the garden.

Dahlia 'Mondriaan' forms a bushy plant and produces flowers on long, strong stems. The size of the flowers is around 12cm, making this an ideal choice for a cut flower: not too small to be un-noticed, but not too big to dominate. It will produce blooms over a long season in summer and autumn if regularly cut or deadheaded, and if the tubers are protected overwinter, can become a regular annual feature in either containers or borders. In warmer climates, a thick mulch over the Dahlia 'Mondriaan' tubers will often suffice, while in colder areas lifting the tubers and storing them in a cool, frost-free place over winter will help to ensure that these beautiful blooms will grace your garden for years to come.
