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.  Flower size 4" (10cm) Height...

Flowers of soft, antique pink, with burgundy undersides to the petals and in the flower centres. Dusky foliage. A really beautiful new introduction in a fashionable colourway! Limited availability this year. Flower size 4.5" (12cm) Height 3' (90cm) Pack of one tuber for £7.50

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...

New in 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. Flower size 5" (13cm) Height 47" (120cm) Pack of one tuber...

 Well-formed ball flowers of rich claret red make this a favourite for the show bench, as well as a great garden variety. Flower size 2.5 - 4" (6-10cm) Height 39" (100cm) Pack of 3 tubers for £8.50  Pack of one tuber for £5.00

This pretty addition to the single, orchid (or star) flowered 'Honka' range sports white-centred pink petals. As with other Honkas, the open centres are attractive to pollinating insects. A strong grower, which has great impact in the border. We have also used it in our horse trough planters over the past couple of years, in combination with ammi visnaga and dahlias 'Boom Boom White' & 'Priceless...

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. Flower size 6" (15cm) Height 43" (110cm) Pack of 3 tubers £8.00 Pack...

There are some wishy-washy coloured single dahlias around (though not in our range!), so we were delighted with the sheer vibrancy of this introduction. We submitted it for trial at Wisley a few years ago, where it gained much attention. Makes a vigorous, bushy plant, covered in blooms which are enhanced by the dusky foliage. NOTE These tubers are produced organically and are hand harvested. Flower...

New for 2024 Flowers of bright pink are warmed by a touch of gold at the base of each petal. If you are looking for generously sized flowers on a plant of modest stature, this could well fit the bill. Flower size 6" (15cm) Height 32" (80cm) Pack of 3 tubers for £8.50

Waterlily type, with shapely blooms of deep rose. Excellent for cutting - it is grown by the million in Holland for this purpose - but also a fine garden plant. Its qualities have been really evident over the last couple of years, as it has been performing its socks off on the RHS Wisley Dahlia Trials. Submitted in error (it is too 'old' to meet the parameters of the trial), it has been showing some...

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. Flower...
