Dahlia 'Ryecroft Blackberry'
New for 2026
The deep, garnet-hued flowers of this neat pompon variety are gently lifted by the subtle gold at the base of each petal, despite this being almost obscured by the tightness of form. This jewel-like colour adds richness to planting schemes and bouquets alike. Note: definitely not the colour of any blackberry we have ever seen and, in poor light conditions, the gold element can be...

Dahlia 'Honka Dark' (Honka Black)
There is a suspicion that 'Honka Dark' and 'Verrone's Obsidian' may be one and the same. It will take DNA testing to reveal the truth but, in growing them on the nursery and in our borders over the last few years, we have not perceived any difference. So our choice to stock Honka Black has been made on the basis of price and better tubers.
