A single bloom looks wonderful in a bud vase. Flower size 9" (22cm) Height 43" (110cm) Pack of 3 tubers...

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. Winner of a new AGM in the 2023/2024 Dahlia Trials at RHS Wisley. Flower...

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. (when it was on the trials at Wisley some years ago, it failed to flower during the trial period!) So we had been on the lookout for a similar giant which would flower earlier. Well, we actually have two. Both...
