{"product_id":"dahlia-islander","title":"Dahlia Islander","description":"\u003cp\u003eDahlia ‘Islander’ is a classic dinnerplate dahlia known for its impressive bloom size and soft, romantic colouring. Its fully double flowers regularly reach 20–25 cm across, creating a strong focal point in the summer garden while maintaining an elegant, balanced appearance. The blooms open in a warm shell pink tone, often deepening slightly toward the centre with subtle blush and creamy undertones that shift depending on light. Broad, gently curved petals form a full, open flower that feels lush without being overly rigid, giving the variety a soft and timeless garden presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants grow to approximately 100–120 cm tall with sturdy stems that support the large blooms well, though early staking is recommended to maintain upright growth. From midsummer through to the first frost, ‘Islander’ produces a steady succession of flowers, especially when regularly deadheaded or cut. In the garden, this variety works best as a focal point or back-of-border feature where its scale can be fully appreciated. It blends beautifully with whites, apricots, and deeper pinks, making it especially effective in romantic and pastel planting schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a cut flower, ‘Islander’ is highly reliable. A single bloom can anchor an arrangement, while its soft pink tones make it versatile across both loose garden-style bouquets and more structured designs. For best results, plant tubers in spring after the risk of frost has passed in a sunny, well-drained position with space to develop. Regular watering and consistent cutting encourage strong, continuous flowering throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA generous dinnerplate dahlia with soft pink blooms and timeless garden elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DutchGrown - EU - Spring","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":55545495421304,"sku":"W393","price":5.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2","offer_id":55545495454072,"sku":"W393","price":5.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3","offer_id":55545495486840,"sku":"W393","price":4.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/2873\/4375\/files\/Dahlia_Islander-2.jpg?v=1777915836","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchgrown.eu\/products\/dahlia-islander","provider":"DutchGrown - EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
