New in 2023 Anemone flowered dahlias are wonderful for introducing a different form to border plantings, with their pretty foliage also making them good subjects for container plantings where some height is needed. This lovely new variety will admirably suit both these situations, with its softly hued blooms of lilac, with a touch of gold at the centre. Totally charming! Flower size 3.5" (9cm) Height...

New for 2024 Charmingly informal in both its flower shape and habit, this variety sports flowers with rich cranberry at the centres and on the undersides of the petals, with paler lilac to the petal tops - a really pretty combination. Good stem length for cutting. If you enjoy 'Creme de Cassis' but yearn for something a little taller, this may well be for you! Flower size 5" (12cm) Height 43" (110cm) Pack...

Since dropping 'Worton Blue Streak' from our range some years ago (on account of that variety's disappointing foliage - the flowers were beautiful), we have looked for a dahlia of similar colour and height. When we first saw 'Bluetiful', we new instantly that we had found our heart's desire. The flowers are as 'blue' as dahlias come - which is lilac-blue - and of a lovely, slightly informal shape,...

This pretty collarette variety is a very recent introduction and has been showing its paces in the current RHS Dahlia Trials at Wisley Garden. The lilac flowers have a darker heart, around an open centre to draw in pollinating insects. The collarettes all have an easy charm about them, making them perfect for cottage garden plantings. Flower size 4" (10cm) Height 3' (90cm) Pack of one tuber for...

We had very limited stock of this variety a couple of years ago and, having trialled it in our own borders since then, have found it to be a real winner. The neatly quilled flowers are usually clear lilac but this variety can throw some peachy coloured blooms into the mix. We have had some lovely lilac flowers with a touch of peach at the petal edges, which were particularly attractive and it should...

New in 2023 There is something truly joyous about striped flowers - they seem to defy the boundaries of tastefulness with a 'look at me - I don't care' approach to life. This lovely newcomer is certainly destined for our borders this year, since we can't resist its cheerful candy-striped blooms of lilac on white. Flower size 6" (15cm) Height 43" (110cm) Pack of 3 tubers for £7.50 Pack of...

Pale lilac flowers have the surprise of cassis coloured backs to the petals and a strong hint of the same colour at the heart of the flowers. Love at first sight!  P.S.

New in 2023 This new variety made a surprise appearance on the dahlia trials at Wisley a couple of years ago, when it was submitted in error for a different dahlia. It proved to be a serendipitous mistake as the 'impostor' immediately found favour with the judging panel. Subsequently during our own travels to the Dutch trial fields, we managed to identify it as 'Laughing Lizza'. Well, here she is...

Decorative type noted for its stunning, very dark violet flowers. Nothing to equal it.Flower size 8" (20cm)Height 39" (100cm)Pack of 3 tubers for £7.50

Beautiful new fimbriated variety, sporting flowers of rich purple. The subdued, slightly grey-green of the foliage is a wonderful foil to the vibrant flowers.  This is a dahlia which really stands out in the border and can work harmoniously with lilac tones or create a riot of colour alongside clear reds. A strong grower to boot. Can be seen this summer in its second year on the RHS Wisley Trials. Flower...
