Dahlias Page 8

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. Flower size 6" (15cm) Height 43" (110cm) Pack of 3 tubers £8.00 Pack...

There are some wishy-washy coloured single dahlias around (though not in our range!), so we were delighted with the sheer vibrancy of this introduction. We submitted it for trial at Wisley a few years ago, where it gained much attention. Makes a vigorous, bushy plant, covered in blooms which are enhanced by the dusky foliage. NOTE These tubers are produced organically and are hand harvested. Flower...

Waterlily type, with shapely blooms of deep rose. Excellent for cutting - it is grown by the million in Holland for this purpose - but also a fine garden plant. Its qualities have been really evident over the last couple of years, as it has been performing its socks off on the RHS Wisley Dahlia Trials. Submitted in error (it is too 'old' to meet the parameters of the trial), it has been showing some...

'Pink Perception' is a lovely example, with flowers of clear, cool pink, which fade out at the petal ends. Very weather resistant. Flower...
