‘Dahlegria Neon Flair’ Mignon dahlia (Dahlia ‘Dahlegria Neon Flair’) Dahlegria Neon Flair dahlia belongs to the Mignon group, recognized for single flowers with open centres. Each flowerhead approximately 10 cm wide presents one row of deep pink petals fading toward pale tips, with yellow splashes surrounding a brown and yellow central disc. Luminous flowers stand against bronze to dark purple foliage that remains ornamental well before flowering. The upright clump reaches 70 cm tall and 50 cm wide, blooming from midsummer until frost. Van Noort supplies one No1 tuber of this compact pollinator dahlia for containers and front borders, where foliage and flowers create continuous colour contrast. Dahlegria Neon Flair is a compact Mignon.
Plant the tuber in spring after the final frost once soil has warmed. Set it horizontally 10 cm deep with the bud facing upward, leaving 50 cm around the developing clump. Choose a sheltered position in full sun with fertile humus-rich soil that remains moist yet drains freely. Water lightly before emergence, then deeply at the base whenever the surface dries. Add mature compost at planting and apply fertilizer moderate in nitrogen and richer in potassium from bud formation. Pinch young shoots to build a dense silhouette and remove faded flowerheads regularly to maintain flowering, keep the open centres visible, and reduce untidy seed development..
Place Neon Flair toward the front or middle of a border, in a pollinator garden, or in one large stable container. Dark foliage pairs with white sweet alyssum, pink gauras, blue salvias, verbenas, and golden grasses, while single flowers give bees, butterflies, and hoverflies direct access. Harvest a few nearly open stems without removing every resource from the garden. In Quebec, after the first frost blackens foliage, cut stems, lift the tuber carefully, allow its surface to dry, and keep it labelled somewhere cool, dry, dark, and frost-free until the following spring. Inspect monthly and retain only firm viable tissue. Dahlegria Neon Flair is a.
