'Seduction' seduces with quiet tones. The flat, densely double flowers of about 11 cm recall waterlilies and shimmer soft pink to lilac, veined with violet-pink. This decorative dahlia flowers freely and for a long time from July to October and brings romance to the border.

About this variety

The flowers of 'Seduction' are slightly flattened and recall very double waterlilies. Their base tone lies between soft pink and lilac. Fine violet-pink veins and speckles run across them, and the edges are often darker. The flower becomes darker towards the centre. Seen up close, it shows a fine, almost drawn pattern.

In the garden the variety suits the back of a romantic border. It tolerates sun and partial shade and grows about 90–110 cm tall. Companions in silver, white or blue, such as lamb's ears, baby's breath or lavender, emphasise the delicate colours. It also looks harmonious among grasses in naturalistic plantings.

For bouquets from your own garden 'Seduction' is a rewarding variety. It flowers long and abundantly, so you can cut for months. The delicate colours go well with white roses or lilac asters. Regular picking encourages repeat flowering, and bees find food on the flowers. Half-open flowers last longest in the vase.

Planting

Plant the tubers outdoors after the Ice Saints (mid-May), 10–15 cm deep and 40–60 cm apart. For earlier flowering, start the tubers indoors from March. A sunny to partially shaded spot with moist, loose loam or sandy soil is suitable.

Care

Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet. From June feed every two to three weeks. Tie the stems to a stake if needed. Deadhead regularly and lift the tubers after the first frost to overwinter them frost-free.
