Dahlia 'Laughing Lizza' (Laughing Lizzy)
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...

Dahlia 'Cornwall Island'
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.

Dahlia 'Liquid Desire'
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.
