Dahlias & Summer Flowering Bulbs Page 10
Dahlia 'Kelsey Annie Joy'
We loved this new collarette dahlia at first sight! The main petals are soft apricot, whilst the inner florets are tipped rose-pink - an unusual and delightful combination. These open-centred dahlias are a magnet for pollinating insects, as well as being a beautiful addition to the flower border.

Dahlia 'Nicholas'
We are always on the lookout for new varieties in the peach/bronze colour range, which seem to be under-represented despite their usefulness in the border and for cutting. This pretty decorative type presses all the right buttons in terms of colour and form and has been a part of our collection for some years now.

Neatly formed flowers of zingy two-tone orange. The surface of the petals is light orange, with the richer shade on the reverse. As the petals have a slight inward curve, both shades are visible at once - a really striking effect.

Dahlia 'Glorie van Heemstede'
Waterlily dahlia of good form and of the most beautiful mid-pale yellow.

Dahlia 'Calgary Flames'
New for 2026
Curvaceous petals and the colours of lemon meringue pie - a delicious combination that really pleases the eye. It is also, in our estimation, more consistent in colour and form than Hollyhill Lemon Ice, which wowed in the last Dahlia Trials at RHS Wisley.

Dahlia 'Grysons Yellow Spider' AGM
We first spotted this variety in Holland some years ago and it was subsequently entered into the Wisley Trials by its Dutch breeder. A cactus dahlia, it is notable for it's extremely fine petals. In another colour it might be less effective but the pale yellow really stands out and says 'look at me'. The Trials Forum certainly approved and the variety has been given AGM status. Also excels as a cut...

Late summer flowering corm producing spikes of fragrant flowers - white, blotched deep maroon/purple at the base. Half-hardy (lift corms when foliage dies back). Ht.4’ (1.2m). We usually advise resisting the urge to plant these corms too soon, as they really need some warmth to get going. Orurs are planted out or potted up in June for late summer /autumn flowers.
