Dahlia ‘Kiev’ is a dinnerplate decorative dahlia that exudes quiet sophistication with its creamy white blooms, which gradually develop a soft rose-pink blush as they mature. The petals are slightly rolled under at the edges, giving the flowers a subtle spiky texture that adds depth and movement.

Here’s a quick profile:

  • 🌸 Bloom Size: Up to 20 cm, fully double with a rounded, slightly spiky form

  • 🌿 Height: Grows to 90–120 cm, with upright, branching stems

  • ☀️ Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, preferring 6–8 hours daily

  • 🪴 Best Use: Ideal for cutting gardens, borders, or as a soft-toned focal point

‘Kiev’ blooms from mid-summer through to the first frost, and its gentle colouring makes it a versatile companion in pastel-themed borders or romantic arrangements. It’s easy to grow, with a clump-forming habit and lush green foliage that complements its blooms beautifully.

- The best time to plant Dahlias here in NZ is September or October, but can be planted anytime from mid August through to late December.

- Dahlias love sun ,so choose a nice sunny spot in your garden. Ideally a spot that gets at least 4 hours of full sun a day.

- Dahlias will grow in almost any soil, but prefer well drained loamy soil conditions.

- Prepare the ground a few weeks before planting by digging over the soil thoroughly and adding a little well rotted compost and an application of general fertiliser.

- Before planting the tubers, apply stakes (for larger varieties) staking after planting damages roots and tubers.

- Plant your Dahlia tubers about 5-10cm deep and about 50cm apart with the eye facing upwards. Water well and keep moist being careful not to over-water.
