GOLDEN VALLEY is a tall variety of dahlia (Dahlia Cav.) belonging to the cactus-type inflorescence group. The plant reaches a height of about 115 cm and a width of 80 cm, forming large cactus-type buds with a bright yellow-orange color. The leaves are dark green, and the stems are sturdy and about 35 cm long, ensuring resistance to wind and mechanical damage.
Cultivating this variety requires careful care: tubers are planted after spring frosts with small shoots, burying the root collar by 3–5 cm. Immediately after planting, a support is installed to form the correct shape of the plant at the early stages of development. Watering is combined with fertilization, which promotes the formation of a large number of inflorescences of rich color and increases resistance to diseases.
The variety is characterized by an early flowering period – flowering begins as early as June and continues until the first frosts. The average number of inflorescences on the plant is 70–80, with a diameter of 10–12 cm; they are located on the surface of the bush and do not fade even under prolonged sunlight exposure. Thanks to its resistance to adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases, GOLDEN VALLEY is a universal choice both for individual planting in flower beds and for group compositions.
