How to Grow
Planting: Plant 'Go Go Purple' dahlia tubers in spring after the last frost, in a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Position the tubers about 10-15cm deep, with the “eye” or growth point facing upwards, and space them around 30-45cm apart for a dense and colourful display.
Watering: Water the tubers thoroughly after planting to help them establish. Once shoots appear, keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. During dry spells, water deeply once or twice a week to support strong growth and blooming.
Feeding: Feed with a high-potassium fertiliser, such as tomato feed, every two weeks from the start of flowering to encourage vibrant, long-lasting blooms and healthy foliage.
Staking: Although 'Go Go Purple' is a compact variety, it may still benefit from light staking, especially in windy areas. Insert small stakes at planting time to support the blooms as they grow and prevent bending.
Deadheading and Maintenance: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. After the first frost, cut back the foliage and either lift and store the tubers or cover them with mulch if leaving them in the ground over winter.
Overwintering: In colder regions of the UK, lift and store the tubers after the first frost. Allow them to dry, then store them in a cool, frost-free place in slightly damp compost until replanting in spring. In milder areas, you can leave the tubers in the ground with a layer of mulch for winter protection.

With its rich purple blooms and low-maintenance care requirements, Dahlia 'Go Go Purple' adds vibrant colour and charm to UK gardens. Perfect for both garden displays and indoor flower arrangements, this compact dahlia provides long-lasting beauty from summer through to autumn, making it a must-have for any colourful garden display.
