New in 2024 And now for something completely different.......This could well be the marmite of the dahlia world but for us it is a wonderful addition to a hot or exotic border. The unique flowers sit atop stems which are tall enough to let it sit towards the back of a planting scheme, or it could be allowed to mingle amongst large-leaved 'jungle' plants (we already have it earmarked for the 'hot'...

NEW IN 2025 We have admired thtis dahlia for some years, after seeing it in the field of one of the smaller growers in Holland. Unfortunately, it had the fault of fading quite a lot at the petal edges at that time. Now, after careful tuber selection over the years, a more stable version has emerged, which is what we are offering here. The flowers have good form and are of the richest ruby-black. It's...

This...

This is far more than just another dark-flowered dahlia. Raised in Austria, it has already proved an award winner in Europe. Not only are the flowers of good colour and form but the foliage is also out of the ordinary, with dark red to the stems and hints of the same colour to the leaf margins. The best foliage colour is attained in hot weather.Flower size 6-8" (15-20cm)Height 43" (110cm)Pack of...

New in 2023 Beautiful new pastel-coloured dahlia. The sizeable flowers are of palest peach, blushed with pink. The perfect bridal dahlia! Flower size 8" (20cm) Height 43" (110cm)  SORRY - CROP FAILURE THIS YEAR.

Achingly pretty variety, with petals which fade out from a glowing heart of orange to palest peach. Neat in form and marking. This is one which flies off the nursery when we have plants available. Note that this variety should not be confused with the very different 'Peaches & Cream'. For some reason, American growers seem to use the latter name when what they are actually growing is often 'Peaches'! Flower...

Pastel-coloured dahlias are always in demand as cut flowers, as well as providing a gentler touch in the border.

Although the plants are not very tall, the stems are perfect for cutting. Flower size 5" (13cm) Height 3'  (90cm)   Pack of 1 tuber...

Flower size 5" (12cm) Height 39" (100cm) Pack...
