Description

Few dahlia varieties surpass the renowned Babylon Bronze, which has taken the entire floral world by storm with its large and graceful flowers.

In its orange and copper attire, complemented by dark foliage, this variety has quickly become an established favorite.

Babylon Bronze's flowers measure approximately 20-30 cm in diameter, and unlike many other dinner-plate dahlias, this floral prima donna gazes upward, making it a fantastic choice for cut flowers.

It's a popular variety in the world of floristry not only for its astonishing appearance but also for its remarkable qualities.

The stems are unusually long and robust, making them highly durable in bouquets.

The fact that this variety lasts exceptionally long in a vase is also a significant advantage! A tall dahlia, it also looks incredibly beautiful as a background plant when planted alongside slightly shorter dahlia varieties or summer flowers. 

This is a definite favorite of Floreas' garden expert, Johanna Damm.

In her garden, it can always be found in several places, both in flower beds and in pots at the entrance.

It blooms abundantly and luxuriantly until the first frost!

Care and cultivation advice

There are two ways to go about growing Dahlia tubers: you can either pre-cultivate them or plant them directly in the planting site. If you wish for earlier blooming, we recommend pre-cultivating them, usually around March to April, depending on where you live. Start by lightly moistening the tuber and then plant it in a pot with holes in the bottom. The tuber should be planted about 10 cm below the surface in nutrient-rich planting soil, and once planted, it should be placed in a bright and cool location. Ensure that you water sparingly at the beginning, until you see green shoots emerging from the soil. Dahlias can be planted out when the risk of frost is over. Just like all young plants, dahlias need to be protected from strong spring sun. So let the plant stand for shorter periods in the sun for the first few days so that it can acclimatize!

We recommend to use a fiber cloth if there are cooler nights to be on the safe side.

It is also possible to plant them directly in the planting site, but it's important to watch out for pests such as snails, which tend to quickly devour the young plants.

Dahlias thrive best in a sunny location but can also do well in partial shade. The most important thing is to provide ample room for the roots to grow and ensure the soil is nutrient-rich. If Dahlias are to be planted in pots, we recommend a pot of at least 30 liters or even larger. Tall varieties need support or staking to prevent the stems from breaking. Dahlias are very thirsty flowers that easily dry out, so they need ample but consistent watering. They also require access to liquid fertilizer a few times during the season to continue blooming magnificently until frost arrives.

(ReYellowarly remove all faded Dahlias to promote the growth of new buds. This is also known as deadheading and is crucial if you want healthy plants with many flowers.)

Reviews

Why we started Florea

Florea grew out of a feeling that something was missing. We couldn’t find anyone online who truly inspired people to grow in a way that felt modern or relevant. It was either very technical or felt a little dated. To us, gardening has always been so much more: something emotional, creative and inspiring.

We wanted to show that gardening is about more than plants. It’s about the feeling of creating something yourself, the calm it brings and the positive effect it has on both body and mind. We felt that side of gardening wasn’t really being given the space it deserved.

What Florea stands for

In a world that keeps moving faster, where more is being automated and AI is always part of the conversation, we feel a strong need to hold on to what makes us human. Growing something yourself is a simple but powerful way to do that.

We often come back to our phrase “Fabrique moi même”, which to us means “created by me”. It captures the heart of what we believe: that the most meaningful things are often the ones you create yourself, even if they’re small or not quite perfect.

A family legacy since 1940

Florea was founded in 2020 by Erik Hoekstra, son of Johannes Hoekstra and grandson of Georg Hoekstra. The company is rooted in a family tradition where gardening and flowers have always been a natural part of life.

It all began with Georg, who grew up among the flower fields of Lisse in the Netherlands. After the Second World War, he began exporting flower bulbs to Scandinavia. Johannes later took over the business, and Erik grew up helping out in the family’s flower fields.

Through Florea, Erik wants to carry on his family’s love of gardening and help more people discover the joy of growing their own flowers, herbs and vegetables.

Ofte stilte spørsmål


Det er helt greit å ha spørsmål eller lure på noe, og ingen spørsmål er dumme. Vi har prøvd å svare på de fleste her. Lurer du fortsatt på noe, er det bare å kontakte oss i chatten eller på hello@flo-rea.com.

Levering og frakt

Hva koster frakten, og når er den gratis?

Bestiller du bare frø, koster frakten 39 kr. Bestiller du løk eller knoller, koster frakten 99 kr.

Har du bare frø i bestillingen, er frakten gratis på bestillinger over 399 kr. Har du løk eller knoller i bestillingen, er frakten gratis på bestillinger over 799 kr.

Hvordan fungerer det hvis jeg kjøper både frø og løk?

Kjøper du både frø og løk, betaler du 99 kr i frakt, eller frakten er gratis på bestillinger over 799 kr.

Hvordan fungerer forhåndskjøp?

Forhåndskjøp betyr at du bestiller og betaler for en vare når du handler, men at vi leverer den på et senere tidspunkt som vi gir beskjed om.

Hva skjer hvis jeg kjøper en vare på lager og en forhåndskjøpt vare?

Kjøper du en vare vi har på lager og en forhåndskjøpt vare, får du et valg i kassen. Enten sender vi hele bestillingen når den forhåndskjøpte varen er på lager, eller så kan du mot et lite tillegg få varene på lager sendt med en gang, mens den forhåndskjøpte varen leveres senere.

Når kommer bestillingen min, og hvilke dager sender dere?

Bestillinger med frø som kommer inn før kl. 12.00 på en hverdag, sendes samme dag. Til Norge er leveringstiden normalt 3-6 virkedager. Frø kommer med Posten rett i postkassen, og øvrige bestillinger sendes med Bring. Løk og knoller sendes på faste utsendelsesdatoer annenhver uke, fordi de trenger plantehelsesertifikat for import til Norge.

Kan jeg endre eller avbestille bestillingen min?

Ta kontakt så raskt som mulig med ordrenummeret ditt. Så lenge bestillingen ikke er pakket, kan vi endre leveringsadresse, utleveringssted eller fraktmåte, eller avbestille den helt. Når bestillingen er pakket, kan den dessverre ikke endres, men du kan returnere varene innenfor vårt åpne kjøp på 30 dager.

Jeg rakk ikke å hente pakken. Hva skjer nå?

Pakker som ikke blir hentet innen fristen på utleveringsstedet, sendes tilbake til oss. Ta kontakt med ordrenummeret ditt, så hjelper vi deg med å få bestillingen sendt på nytt.

Varen er utsolgt. Når kommer den tilbake?

Klikk på "Varsle meg" på produktsiden og skriv inn e-postadressen din, så får du en e-post så snart varen er på lager igjen. Utsolgte frø kommer som regel tilbake i begynnelsen av desember, akkurat i tide til neste sesong.

Garanti, retur og reklamasjon

Hva innebærer spiregarantien deres?

Det betyr rett og slett at hvis et produkt du har kjøpt hos oss ikke spirer, enten det er et frø, en knoll eller en blomsterløk, så kompenserer vi deg med enten et nytt produkt gratis eller pengene tilbake. Vi trenger ikke noe bevis, ditt ord holder.

En løk eller rot var dårlig eller kom ikke opp. Hva gjør jeg?

Ta kontakt med kundeservice, så får du et nytt produkt eller pengene tilbake.

Kan jeg returnere frø og løk?

Du har alltid 30 dagers åpent kjøp hos oss. Vil du returnere varene dine, tar du kontakt med kundeservice, så hjelper vi deg.
