Delightful Dahlias

Dahlias are our stunning summer stars. While many plants wilt under the intensity of a dog day sun, they bloom on and on, offering extraordinary petal formations in a vibrant array of colours. Flowering from midsummer until the first frosts, they add radiance to beds, borders and containers. There’s just one problem though – choosing from the multitude of colours and colour combinations, and the myriad flower forms and sizes. Have fun picking your favourite!
