Great for containers and front of border. Flower size 3" (7cm) Height...

NEW for 2021 This lovely new dahlia comes from a Dutch breeder who specialises in raising dark leaved, compact varieties. In this selection, the near-black foliage contrasts well with the open-centred white flowers with their subtle darker veining and gently curvaceous form.  It really stood out in the grower's trial fields last year. We also noted that, unlike most open-centred white dahlias...

NEW for 2021 Not all dahlias slot neatly into existing classifications - this one can't decide if it wants to be a single orchid or a collarette. Small wonder it ended up with the name 'Fancy Pants'.  In any case, it's a pretty little introduction, well worth a place in the border, where it will hold it's pink & white flowery head high on strong, dark stems. Flower size 3.5" (9cm) Height...

NEW for 2021 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!). When the colour is as unique as this one, it is impossible to resist. The blooms are deepest burnt orange-red with a strong hint of chocolate, especially at the heart of the flower.  Flower size 4" (10cm) Height 3'...

NEW for 2021 Pastel-coloured dahlias are always in demand as cut flowers, as well as providing a gentler touch in the border.
