Dahlias Page 4

One of the popular 'Happy Single' series. This variety combines vivid pink flowers with beautiful, dark foliage and is a particularly strong grower.Flower size 2-4" (5-10cm)Height 2' (60cm)Pack of 3 tubers for £9.50 Pack of 1 tuber for £4.00  

Many of the anemone-flowered dahlias come in rather muted, or slightly offbeat, colours. 'Take Off' is an exception, with its pale-centred flowers with their bright pink petals. A lively and cheerful addition to the border. Flower size 3" (8cm) Height 3' (90cm) Pack of 3 tubers for £8.00 Pack of one tuber for £4.00

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. Flower size  3" (8cm) Height  24-28"...

A lovely old variety which we offered for the first time just a couple of years ago. The large flowers are a pinkish lavender and are held up well on strong stems. Flower size 8" (20cm) Height 43" (110cm) Pack of 3 tubers for £8.00 Pack of one tuber for £4.00

The Jowey series has produced some seriously special dahlias in terms of form and colour. 'Jowey Frambo'  is no exception, with its neat ball flowers of warm, rose-pink and good, long and strong stems for cutting. Flower size 3.5" (9cm) Height 40" (100cm) Pack of 3 tubers £10.00  

We love the unusual colour combination in the flowers of this striking variety. The petals of 'old' pink have a slight twist which reveals the cranberry undersides. It reminds us of antique velvet cushions - rich yet slightly faded (and very modern!). Despite being on the shorter side, it has proved immensely popular with cut flower growers as well as gardeners.  Flower size 4" (10cm) Height...

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...

Waterlily-type dahlias are renowned for their weather resistance (due to the reduced petal count) and charmingly natural appearance. 'Twiggy' is a lovely example of this light-headed type of dahlia, with flowers of soft pink, warmed by a hint of gold at the petal base. In cultivation, we have found that many of the flowers display open centres (more like peony-flowered dahlia), which is great for pollinating...

New for 2026 Very full, warm salmon pink flowers with upward facing petals, resembling sea anemones.  Terrific for floral work and a showy border variety. Flower size 4.5" (12cm) Height 39" (1m) Pack of one tuber for £7.50 Pack of 3 tubers for £19.00

This pretty member of the single, orchid (or star) flowered 'Honka' range sports white-centred pink petals. As with other Honkas, the open centres are attractive to pollinating insects. A strong grower, which has great impact in the border. We have also used it in our horse trough planters over the past couple of years, in combination with ammi visnaga and dahlias 'Boom Boom White' & 'Priceless...

Ball dahlia, with flowers of sultry, claret-red. We grow it with rich purple-pinks, to great effect ('Cryfield Harmony' makes a good companion).Flower size 2" (5-6cm)Height 39" (100cm)Pack of 3 tubers for £13.50 Pack of one tuber £5.50

This dahlia is the sort of colour which catches the eye from a distance - a strong, fluorescent,  'shocking' pink. It's this strength of colour that has made many gardeners fall in love with dahlias in the first place and it positively shrieks of their Mexican origins. Super, long, dark stems also make it excellent for cutting. Breaking News - Winner of a new AGM in the 2023/2024 Dahlia...

NEW IN 2025 Probably inspired by the bride's mother's hat - this glorious confection of pink, touched with white, has glamorous fimbriated tips to the petals. Sure to light up any wedding, or bring a sense of occasion to your garden border. Flower size 5" (12cm) Height 36" (90cm) Pack of 3 tubers for £8.50 Pack of one tuber for £4.00

NEW IN 2025 Neat blooms of clear pink, produced prolifically throughout the flowering season. The ball shaped flowers open to a more flattened shape as they age - delightful at every stage. Flower size 3.5" (9cm) Height 36" (90cm) Pack of 3 tubers for £9.50 Pack of one tuber for £4.50

Giant decorative dahlia with soft pink blooms. This dahlia has been a huge favourite with us for some years now and we were thrilled that it gained an RHS Award of Garden Merit after we submitted it for trial at Wisley, a few years ago. The huge blooms stand up to the weather amazingly well and we love to contrast them with something completely different, such as the open-centred 'Princess Nadine'.Flower...

A truly striking recent introduction. The warm pink blooms are dusted with glistening gold at the centre and petal tips, as though a gilder had taken their brush to the flowers to make them glitter in the sun. Gold dust doesn't usually settle on dahlias, so this is something really special. Much admired on the 2024/2025 Dahlia Trial at RHS Wisley. Flower size 4" (10cm) Height 32" (80cm) Pack of...
