Dahlia Marie Schnugg
Dahlias are native to the high plains of Mexico and other parts of Central America. They were cultivated by the Aztecs in pre-Cortez times. They were introduced to Europe by the Spanish in 1784. They were first first grown in the Botanical Gardens in Madrid. Abbe Cavanille named the new plants Dahlias in honour of Andreas Dahl a Swedish naturalist and student of Carl Linnaeus.Dahlia Marie Scnugg has petals that are rolled and long, the effect much more starry than usual for Dahlias and the colour very bright, but because there is not too much of it the result is not intrusive. These also are sold as D. Honka Red, neither name really trips off the tongue though.
Planting Instructions
Tender. Store dry till March, then pot up and grow with warmth to plant out in late May. They need planting in a sunny situation with good compost below them and regular dead heading in the late summer to encorage repeat flowering. Growing them initially as potted plants early in the season will give you a head start. In the winter they may need to be lifted and kept frost free, depending on the conditions.
