Dahlia 'Purple Fox'
When Verwer dahlias (breeders of many of the best known modern dahlias) decided to raise a ball series, it was a dead cert that something good would come out of it. This was the variety we chose to launch with and it didn't disappoint. Fast forward a few years and we have several other 'Fox' varieties available. All are great for cutting and outstanding of colour.

Dahlia 'Melissa Anna Marijke'
This lovely recent introduction follows a trend of breeders raising dahlias with flowers which have complementary colours on the top and underside of the petals. In this case, the petals sport pink-lilac & burgundy-purple hues and the plants themselves are petite enough to grow at the front of a border or in containers. Added bonus is dusky foliage.

Dahlia 'Hapet Daydream' AGM
This dahlia stood out from a field of hundreds in Holland, due to its imposing size and stunning hue. Despite its great height (the blooms were up to my chin), the vivid purple-pink flowers held up well on their strong stems, even in windy conditions (they were discretely supported!). It was part of the 2021/22 Wisley trials, where it gained its AGM. A great candidate for the back of a...
Dahlia 'Striped Emory Paul'
We grew this new sport of the well-known Emory Paul for the first time a few years ago and were mightily impressed by the huge, nicely marked flowers, which seemed to last for ages in really good condition on the nursery. plants Note that this variety will grow far taller than the guide height below if well fed.

Dahlia 'Senior's Hope'
We love the unusual colour combination in the flowers of this striking variety. The petals of 'old' pink have a slight twist which reveals the cranberry undersides. It reminds us of antique velvet cushions - rich yet slightly faded (and very modern!). Despite being on the shorter side, it has proved immensely popular with cut flower growers as well as gardeners.

Dahlia imperialis
This impressive species reaches heights in excess of 8' (2.5m) in a single season. To ensure flowering, it needs to be grown in a situation protected from frost, since blooms seldom appear before late October.

Dahlia 'Penhill Dark Monarch' AGM
Lovers of giant dahlias adore 'Emory Paul' (often because they have seen it growing en-masse at Great Dixter). It's a terrific variety once it gets going but that can be very late in the season. So we had been on the lookout for a similar giant which would flower earlier. Well, we actually have two. Both have the 'Penhill' prefix (the other is "Penhill Watermelon) but this is closest in colour to 'Emory...

Dahlia 'Twiggy'
New for 2024
Waterlily-type dahlias are renowned for their weather resistance (due to the reduced petal count) and charmingly natural appearance. 'Twiggy' is a lovely example of this light-headed type of dahlia, with flowers of soft pink, warmed by a hint of gold at the petal base. The stems are also long and strong, so that it cuts well.

A truly striking new variety. The warm pink blooms are dusted with glistening gold at the centre and petal tips, as though a gilder had taken their brush to the flowers to make them glitter in the sun.

Collarette dahlias have a charm all of their own and this one brings a winning combination of bright rose red & a...
Dahlia 'Feline Yvonne'
This dahlia is the sort of colour which catches the eye from a distance - a strong, fluorescent, 'shocking' pink. It's this strength of colour that has made many gardeners fall in love with dahlias in the first place and it positively shrieks of their Mexican origins. Super, long, dark stems also make it excellent for cutting.

Dahlia 'Pink Perception'
Dutch breeders have been putting some effort into raising new waterlily-type dahlias in recent years. The best of these produce a bumper crop of flowers which are produced at a consistent height over a number of plants, making them excellent for the border and as cut flowers. 'Pink Perception' is a lovely example, with flowers of clear, cool pink, which fade out at the petal ends. Very weather resistant.

A very pretty addition to our range which rather defies conventional classification. Our grower has it as anemone-flowered, due to the slightly enlarged central boss.

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.

Really pretty anemone flowered dahlia, which has quickly proved itself hugely poular with dahlia lovers.

This variety made a big impression at the 2021/22 Wisley Dahlia Trials, resulting in the award of an AGM.
