Dahlia (Ball Grp) 'Purple Fox'

Introducing the Dahlia 'Purple Fox' - A Stunning Addition to Your Garden

When it comes to adding a touch of beauty and elegance to your garden, few flowers can compare to the Dahlia 'Purple Fox'. With its enchanting purple-medium purple flower color and double (pleniflorous) petals, this Dahlia variety is truly a showstopper.

The 'Purple Fox' dahlia boasts a flower diameter of 8-8.5 cm, making it an eye-catching addition to any flower bed or border. The inflorescence takes the form of a capitulum or head, adding dimension and texture to the overall appearance of the flower.

What makes this particular dahlia even more special is its leaf size, which ranges from 20-25 cm. The diversely compound leaf division adds an interesting visual element, complementing the stunning flowers. The main color of the leaves is a rich and dark green, providing a vibrant backdrop for the burst of purple.

One of the distinguishing features of the 'Purple Fox' dahlia is its unicolored flower color distribution. The petals are solely adorned in shades of purple, ranging from medium purple to a deeper, almost magenta hue. However, it's worth mentioning that the flower also showcases secondary color(s), specifically a beautiful pink-medium purple shade (071C), adding a touch of variation and depth to the overall appearance.

This Dahlia variety is a versatile addition to any garden, as it can be grown in borders, containers, or even as a cut flower. Its long-lasting blooms ensure that you can enjoy its beauty both outdoors and indoors.

As with all dahlias, the 'Purple Fox' requires some care to thrive. It prefers a sunny spot with well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering and fertilization. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming throughout the season, allowing you to enjoy its vibrant colors for as long as possible.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, the Dahlia 'Purple Fox' is a fantastic choice to add a touch of elegance and color to your garden. Its mesmerizing purple hues and double petals will undoubtedly attract attention from both visitors and pollinators alike. So why wait? Add this magnificent flower to your garden and enjoy the beauty it brings.
