Dahlias Page 7

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...

New in 2024 A beautiful pastel blend of palest cream-lemon, washed with a pink blush. The balance of colour changes subtly throughout the season, with the blush more prominent at times, but always very lovely and the perfect bridal flower. Flower size 4" (10cm) Height 32" (80cm) Pack of one tuber for £7.00 Pack of 3 tubers for £14.50

Pastel-coloured dahlias are always in demand as cut flowers, as well as providing a gentler touch in the border. The soft, creamy, salmon-pink tones of 'Maya' are warmed by a hint of lemon at the heart and the flowers have a lovely, romantic feel to them. Although the plants are not very tall, the stems are perfect for cutting. Flower size 5" (13cm) Height 3'  (90cm)   Pack of 1 tuber...

A touch of gold at the heart of any dahlia really lights up the entire flower. This was never more so than with this lovely recent introduction, which has blooms of the warmest pink. The flowers are also a lovely shape and size, held up well by strong stems. Fantastic in the border (last year you could see it 'wow' visitors to the Wisley Trials) and for cutting. Flower size 5" (12cm) Height 39" (100cm) Pack...

NEW IN 2025 Utterly beautiful introduction, with flowers of soft peach-pink, with a touch of lilac at the centre of the flowers before they open fully.

If you have ever dreamed of a ball dahlia the colour of 'Karma Fuchsiana' (which is sadly no longer available), you'll love this new variety. The flowers are a real day-glo pink (really difficult to photograph!), with all the 'wow' you could hope for. The best colour is achieved in hot, sunny weather, with the colour turning to more of a terracotta pink in dull weather or late in the season - still...

Really pretty anemone flowered dahlia, which has quickly proved itself hugely poular with dahlia lovers. We would say that the name is something of a misnomer, since the colour of the petals is closer to terracotta pink, with only the centre being near-tangerine. This variety made a big impression at the 2021/22 Wisley Dahlia Trials, resulting in the award of an AGM. Flower size 3" (8cm) Height 24"...

Very pretty recent introduction, with flowers  which combine light salmon-pink on the undersides of the petals with pale apricot-orange.to the petal tops. We grow it in a bed with 'Linda's Baby', 'Phyllis Farmer'  & 'Burlesca', where it works a treat. (Note that some catalogues show the flowers as much pinker than they actually are!)
