Dahlia 'Jennifer Mary Ellen'
Gorgeously rich recent introduction, with two-tone, red-purple flowers set off by sultry dark foliage. The surface of the petals is light red-purple, with a darker tone of aubergine on the underside and at the heart of the flowers. Modest height but very showy. Last year, it was one of the stand-out varieties on the nursery, as well as in our border and trough plantings. It also won many plaudits on...

Dahlia 'Magenta Festival'
NEW IN 2025
The vibrant shocking pink tones of the no-longer grown 'Karma Fuchsiana' came to mind the moment we saw this new variety. It's a pop of colour we have been missing in our borders for a few years now, so we have high hopes for this newcomer. The flowers are a little larger and fuller than 'Fuchsiana', which makes for a real blast of saturated colour.

Dahlia 'Cranberry Classic'
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!

Dahlia 'Admiral Rawlings'
We have had this fine old variety in our private collection for many years, occasionally making plants available for visitors to the nursery. Now, we are able to offer it on a more commercial scale, although supply is still very limited. 'Admiral Rawlings' is a strong grower, producing far more height than most dahlias, and has beautiful decorative type blooms of rich purplish red, with darker tones...

Dahlia 'Babylon Paars' ('Babylon Purple')
The Babylon series of dahlias has many fans and we added this purple version to our range a couple of years ago. These dahlias are typified by very large, rather informal blooms, held on strong stems. 'Babylon Paars' is a particularly strong hue, which really grabs the attention in the border. A single bloom looks wonderful in a bud vase.

Dahlia 'Cornwall Island' AGM
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.

Dahlia 'Purple Fox'
When Verwer dahlias (breeders of many of the best known modern dahlias) decided to raise a ball series, it was a dead cert that something good would come out of it. This was the variety we chose to launch with and it didn't disappoint. Fast forward a few years and it remains a top cutting variety.

Dahlia 'Melissa Anna Marijke'
This lovely recent introduction follows a trend of breeders raising dahlias with flowers which have complementary colours on the top and underside of the petals. In this case, the petals sport pink-lilac & burgundy-purple hues and the plants themselves are petite enough to grow at the front of a border or in containers. Added bonus is dusky foliage.
