Dahlia 'Pink Preference' is a small semi-cactus dahlia, with gorgeous pink flowers in contrast with mid-green foliage. Grow it at the back of a mixed herbaceous border or on the cuttings patch – it makes an excellent cut flower.
For best results, grow Dahlia 'Pink Preference' in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Stake flowers from June. Deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. Lift tubers after the first frosts and store them in a cool, dry situation until March. Then pot them up and keep them in a temperate greenhouse before planting out in late May.
