Garden dahlia (Dahlia pinnata)

#photocontest25 Hi everyone ... this big heavy bumblebee could not be held by the petal of my 'Waltzing Mathilda' Dahlia 'Waltzing Mathilda' is characterised by its grateful flowering. The advantage of this is that you will be greeted by these colourful flowers in your garden all summer long. The centre of the flower is richly filled with nectar, so that this pleasing appearance is complemented by cheerful buzzing bees and butterflies. The flowers have a diameter of approx. 12 cm and are held up by sturdy stems. 'Waltzing Mathilda' is suitable for naturalised gardens, classic cottage gardens, can be combined with grasses in the herbaceous border and is a fantastic cut flower. Well-known florists and floral designers such as Susanne Hatwood and Erin Benzakein rave about this dahlia and its qualities. The British Royal Horticultural Society gave the variety its Award of Garden Merit, a prize that is only awarded to plants that significantly enhance a garden and are also easy to cultivate.
