Dahlia 'Dahlegria Tricolore'
NEW for 2021
One of the last dahlias to come out of the Dutch Verwer brothers' breeding programme and a right 'Bobby Dazzler', as Yorkshire born grandad would have said. The flowers are a brilliant confection of pink and red, applied in painterly strokes across the petals and shown off against a backdrop of darkly dramatic foliage. Great for containers and front of border.

Dahlia 'Little Swan'
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...

Dahlia 'Fancy Pants'
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.

Dahlia 'Red Labyrinth'
NEW for 2021
Dahlia 'Labyrinth' has gained many admirers since we first introduced it into the UK a few years ago.

Dahlia 'Monte Negro'

Waterlily-type dahlias always hold themselves well in the garden, with their light heads shaking off the worst of the weather effortlessly.

The stems are dark, long and strong, making them perfect for cutting.

Dahlia 'Sturm 807'
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.

Dahlia 'Maya'
NEW for 2021
Pastel-coloured dahlias are always in demand as cut flowers, as well as providing a gentler touch in the border. The soft, creamy, salmon-pink tones of 'Maya' are warmed by a hint of lemon at the heart and the flowers have a lovely, romantic feel to them. Although the plants are not very tall, the stems are perfect for cutting.

Dahlia 'Fairway Spur'
NEW for 2021
Not a new variety - we have had it in our border for some years - but a new addition to this year's catalogue. The flowers are enormous in size and of a warm, bronze-orange. If you like your dahlias big and bold, this one is sure to please (edited out of the image - the grower holding the bloom up next to my face to show it was - slightly - larger!).
