Sarah Raven Exclusives Dahlia Collection

★★★★

We couldn’t be more proud of this collection. Chosen from vast trial fields to bring home to Perch Hill, to grow, trial and evaluate, these ones have out-performed all others, not just in terms of beauty, but in vase life and general ease of growth and productivity. I truly love them all

Dahlia 'Perch Hill'

The colour of a negroni, or a glass of blood orange juice, there is no other dahlia like this bred-for-us-variety, in a subtle smoky crimson-pink-orange

Dahlia 'Josie'

Named after our totally wonderful head gardener, Josie Lewis, we both adored this dahlia in the trial last summer.

Dahlia 'Abigail'

One step brighter than 'Blue Bayou' and named after our head buyer, we — and the bees and butterflies — adore our brand new Anemone-flowered dahlia

The Raven
Dahlia Collection

My four favourite dahlias, named after our family and where we live.


There are two brilliant for picking, with exceptional vase lives (Molly and Perch Hill) and two thick with pollen and nectar to feed the pollinators (Sarah and Rosie).


So, as well as being beautiful, this group covers what are to me the two main reasons to garden – a harvest for us and the bees

Dahlia 'Adam's Choice'

A beautiful new dahlia discovered by me and my husband Adam on a visit to Dutch breeders two years ago. Toffee-apple pom-poms with a rich and lustrous old tapestry feel

Dahlia 'Sarah Raven'

I spotted this in a breeder's trial field from over a hundred potential new varieties and brought it back to trial for a couple of years at Perch Hill

Dahlia 'Rosie Raven'

Named after my daughter Rosie, this is a brand new part of the Anemone-flowered group of dahlias in the richest mulberry crimson

20_0811_020

Dahlia 'Molly Raven'

Named after my youngest daughter Molly, this reminds me of the classiest Venetian marbled paper

Dahlia

★★★★

Our most recently bred dahlia, named after my long-standing business partner and dear friend, I adore this large-flowered single dahlia
