Dahlias
Dahlias are enjoying a huge renaissance in popularity as gardeners realise their value in providing a riot of colour from mid-summer to the first frosts. Just as many perennials are beginning to flag in the heat of summer, dahlias are coming into their own, revelling in the warmth to produce wave after wave of their exuberant blooms. Give them a sunny position with a rich soil and they cannot fail to please.
We are constantly evolving our range of dahlias to benefit from the introduction of new, improved varieties, and believe that the selection we now offer allows many harmonious and exciting colour combinations to be made. In every part of the colour spectrum we have tried to include a variety of different dahlia types, to give contrasting shapes and heights within a planting scheme. We have also added the sizes of the flowers, as well as plant heights, since this is difficult to gauge from a photographic image, and can vary enormously from one variety to another. Please use the dimensions as a guide rather than an absolute - actual dimensions can show considerable variations, due to differing cultural conditions.
There is the facility to choose dahlias for their suitability for cutting & for containers under the 'filter by attributes' selector on the top left of the page. These selections are by no means exhaustive - we all have our own ideas about these things - but they do represent 'failsafe' choices, so that dahlias for cutting will all have a decent length of stem and container selections will fill a pot without the plants appearing 'leggy' or thin. You can also access our (small) range of organic dahlia tubers under the same function.
NOTE: We supply all our dahlias as top-sized tubers. The actual tuber size will, however, vary according to variety and from season to season. With a few varieties which are produced specially for us, we offer a choice of tuber size. In 2023 there will be the option to buy tubers singly for some varieties, although our packs of 3 tubers continue to offer the most outstanding value for money.
AGM after a variety name denotes the accolade of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Pre-season ordering of dahlia tubers will be possible on-line from 1st January 2023 for delivery in spring 2023. Delivery is usually from mid-February, weather allowing (we do not ship if overnight temperatures are zero degrees or below). Earlier delivery can sometimes be arranged by request, for orders placed in the first week of January.
We regret that we are currently unable to ship orders outside the United Kingdom.
Note also that, from July onwards, we do have a good selection of pot grown dahlias available at our nursery on regular Friday openings, shows we attend and on our special open days.This often includes varieties which we hold in our collection but which are not available as tubers. Visitors can also see a wide range of dahlias growing on the nursery and in our display garden.
OUR 2023 DAHLIA COLLECTION IS NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER. SOME OF THE NEW VARIETIES WE ARE OFFERING CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON OUR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT (https://www.instagram.com/rosecottageplants/) .

Dahlia 'Babylon Paars' ('Babylon Purple')
The Babylon series of dahlias has many fans and we added this purple version to our range a couple of years ago. These dahlias are typified by very large, rather informal blooms, held on strong stems. 'Babylon Paars' is a particularly strong hue, which really grabs the attention in the border.

Dahlia 'Purple Fox'
When Verwer dahlias (breeders of many of the best known modern dahlias) decided to raise a ball series, it was a dead cert that something good would come out of it. This was the variety we chose to launch with and it didn't disappoint. Fast forward a few years and we have several other 'Fox' varieties available. All are great for cutting and outstanding of colour.

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.

This dahlia stood out from a field of hundreds in Holland, due to its imposing size and stunning hue. Despite its great height (the blooms were up to my chin), the vivid purple-pink flowers held up well on their strong stems, even in windy conditions (they were discretely supported!). It was part of the 2021/22 Wisley trials, where it gained its AGM. A great candidate for the back of a...

Dahlia 'Senior's Hope'
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.

Dahlia imperialis
This impressive species reaches heights in excess of 8' (2.5m) in a single season. To ensure flowering, it needs to be grown in a situation protected from frost, since blooms seldom appear before late October.

Dahlia 'Penhill Dark Monarch' AGM
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. So we had been on the lookout for a similar giant which would flower earlier. Well, we actually have two. Both have the 'Penhill' prefix (the other is "Penhill Watermelon) but this is closest in colour to 'Emory...

Dahlia 'Twiggy'
New for 2024
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. The stems are also long and strong, so that it cuts well.

A truly striking new variety. 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.

Collarette dahlias have a charm all of their own and this one brings a winning combination of bright rose red & a...
Dahlia 'Feline Yvonne'
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.

Dahlia 'Pink Perception'
Dutch breeders have been putting some effort into raising new waterlily-type dahlias in recent years. The best of these produce a bumper crop of flowers which are produced at a consistent height over a number of plants, making them excellent for the border and as cut flowers. 'Pink Perception' is a lovely example, with flowers of clear, cool pink, which fade out at the petal ends. Very weather resistant.

A very pretty addition to our range which rather defies conventional classification. Our grower has it as anemone-flowered, due to the slightly enlarged central boss.

Achingly pretty variety, with petals which fade out from a glowing heart of orange to palest peach. Neat in form and marking. This is one which flies off the nursery when we have plants available.

Really pretty anemone flowered dahlia, which has quickly proved itself hugely poular with dahlia lovers.

This variety made a big impression at the 2021/22 Wisley Dahlia Trials, resulting in the award of an AGM.
