Dahlia 'Jescot Julie' has been a long-standing favourite with a beautiful bi-colour, but now it has perhaps been outshone now by 'Julie One' which has a softer orange-apricot petal and rich crimson reverse. I absolutely love this.

| Genus | Dahlia |
| Group/Species |
Miscellaneous Group Orchid-flowered and Peony-flowered types are classified as Miscellaneous. Also includes Double Orchid-flowered, Bishop, Mini Bishop and Star dahlias. Click here for more information about dahlia groups. |
| Variety | Julie One |
| Type | Tender Perennial Tuber |
| Common Name | Dahlia |
| Border Position | Back |
| Bulb Size | I |
| Soil Type | Acid, Chalky, Fertile, Neutral |
| Scent | Unscented |
| Site | Full Sun |
| Moisture | Moist but Well-drained |
| Height | 1.2m (3ft 11in) |
| Spacing | Plant just under the soil surface, 75cm (30in) apart. |
| Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Pot them up undercover March or early April in a generous pot (at least 2 litre) filled with multi-purpose potting compost. Place them in a light, frost-free place and keep the compost moist. Pinch out their growing tips when they have reached about 8" tall. They will have formed bushy plants by the time the frosts have ended and will be in flower by the beginning of July. If you don’t have anywhere to grow the potted tubers, you can put them straight into the ground when the frosts are nearly over, mulching them or protecting with a cloche or protective horticultural fleece if the foliage appears before the frosts are over, but this will delay flowering. |
| Care Tips | Support with a stout stick, tie in every couple of weeks. In the south you can mulch deeply and overwinter them in the ground, alternatively, lift and overwinter your dahlias frost free undercover. |
| Flowering | July - November |
| Harvesting | Flower production 5 months |
| Cooking Notes | All dahlia flowers are edible. I use the petals scattered over salad and to decorate a range of puddings. |

Reviewed 25th October 2019 by Shirley I purchased 2 dahlia tubers and Julie One was a poor performer. The flower was so small and didn't last very long at all. In comparison to the Tartan this one was a huge disappointment. Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:"Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Julie One dahlia and have refunded you for this." Posted 26th October 2019 |

This was the largest of all my dahlias this year. It grew 1.6m with loads and loads of 8cm diameter flowers that I picked all summer. I have just dug it up to overwinter and the tuber is enormous. |
Pretty but....
Reviewed 31st July 2018 by Cynthia Edwards ...the flowers are quite small. My plant is very big so the flowers (only 2 so far) look a little lost. it would be better if in the description on the web site there could be an indication of the average diameter of the flowers.
