Dahlia 'Liquid Desire' AGM
Pretty, ruffled flowers defy conventional dahlia categorisation and are all the more charming for it. The golden centres are an open invitation to pollinating insects and the colour of the petals range from deepest red-purple at the heart, through lighter shades of the same hue, to near white at the petal edges. Its informality makes for a delightful border subject to mingle with more formal varieties.

Dahlia 'Bashful'
New for 2026
We are always on the lookout for new single-flowered dahlias. They add a pleasingly natural touch to plantings and are great for attracting pollinating insects. 'Bashful' has charming two-tone flowers of dark, reddish purple, with lighter tips to the petals. The yellow centres shout out the availability of pollen to passing bees and butterflies. We recommend placing single-flowered dahlias...
Dahlia 'Fuchsia Charm'
New for 2026
Day-Glo purple flowers on plants of neat stature. Few other plants can compete with dahlias for producing saturated colour like this. We would mix it into a red border to give a real colour explosion but it will also work well with 'bluer' purples and lilacs.

Dahlia 'Bishop of Canterbury'
We grow a number of these for the nursery most years and they have proved so popular that we have since addied the variety to our mail order range. The flower form is far from perfect but has a very simple appeal and offbeat colour. The dark leaves are pleasingly dissected too.

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...
