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 single flowered 'Dovegrove'.Flower...

Flowers of vibrant rose are enlivened by a subtle hint of yellow at the base of each petal. We love the unusual shape of the flowers, which, with a delicious twist of the petals, have the desirable characteristic of perceived 'movement'.  A great candidate for borders and for cutting, as the stems are long and strong. Flower size 3.5" (9cm) Height 3' (90cm)  Pack of 3 tubers...

If you have ever dreamed of a ball dahlia the colour of 'Karma Fuchsiana' (which is sadly no longer available), you'll love this new variety. The flowers are a real day-glo pink (really difficult to photograph!), with all the 'wow' you could hope for. The best colour is achieved in hot, sunny weather, with the colour turning to more of a terracotta pink in dull weather or late in the season - still...

Really pretty anemone flowered dahlia, which has quickly proved itself hugely poular with dahlia lovers. We would say that the name is something of a misnomer, since the colour of the petals is closer to terracotta pink, with only the centre being near-tangerine. This variety made a big impression at the 2021/22 Wisley Dahlia Trials, resulting in the award of an AGM. Flower size 3" (8cm) Height 24"...

Very pretty recent introduction, with flowers  which combine light salmon-pink on the undersides of the petals with pale apricot-orange.to the petal tops.

There is something especially pleasing about a well-formed ball dahlia (we have lost a few flowers on displays to visitors constantly patting them on their heads!).
