Gorgeous, grows well in the North
Reviewed 13th January 2017 by Kay I received Jescott Julie as part of a collection. I love it so I've grown it for the past three years. I garden in the High Pennines with a short growing season, I plant this dahlia in a raised bed as a tuber right at the end of May and by September I have lots of lovely flowers to cut for the house. I love this with Karma Choc another great doer in my garden. As a novice (and rather lazy) gardener I would recommend dahlias they are easy and trouble free to grow (watch out for greedy slugs in the early days) though you do need a stake or two for those September gales so frequent in the high hills. Spectactular results with hardly any effort! |
Joyful!
Reviewed 23rd January 2016 by Judi Delaney This dahlia is simpler in it's form than some of the others, but for me, this adds to it's charm. It has a gorgeous tangerine colour to the face of the petals, but the underside is streaked heavily with a deep pink - the sort of colouring that makes you marvel at how clever nature is! Standing alone or in a jug mixed with deep purples and reds - it is an absolute delight. |
