Explore how you can incorporate the ‘Peach Fuzz’ trend into your garden below...

Dahlia 'Labyrinth'

Well I never thought I'd like this one, but I absolutely love it – like the Queen Mother's hat!

Peach Bellini Dahlia Collection

More like the prettiest of coral reefs than a garden, this crew look like tropical Clown Fish darting past peachy sea urchins and is, to me irresistible

Dahlia 'Mr Frans'

A beautiful, Waterlily-type dahlia with large, silky petals in a warm deep apricot with soft buttery streaks

Dahlia 'Happy Single Kiss'

I love this dahlia with its clear, open, saucer flowers in soft apricot-peach, with a contrasting crimson base to every petal to prevent it being too sweet. It's compact, so ideal for a pot and has good, dark foliage too

Dahlia 'Burlesca'

I jumped on this one in a huge dahlia trial field in Holland three years ago. It's like coral in form and colour and seems to go with everything. Marvellous

Dahlia 'Topmix Salmon'

A mini dahlia, standing no more than 18 inches above the soil. And unlike most mini dahlias, its flowers are single, simple, pretty and cosmos-like in a beautiful mix of coral, salmon and apricot. Good for pollinators

Dahlia 'Peaches'

These remind me of those spectacular hand-blown paper weights you see in Venice, contrasting colour moulded in pleats down the globe’s sides

Calendula officinalis 'Sunset Buff'

The soft buff-apricot version of 'Indian Prince' with the same crimson petal backs but a much more subtle overall flower colour

Harvest Bunch Collection

A perfect example of the soft, warm, cashmere jersey palette of peach and apricot, stopped from being too cloying by the bobbing heads of velvet crimson scabious

Agastache rupestris 'Peachie Keen'

Neat mounds of aromatic foliage topped with bow-like peachy-apricot flowers which sit in their mauve calyxes all summer long

Thunbergia 'African Sunset'

My favourite climber to mix with apricots and purples (such as Rhodochiton) to cover teepees and arches

Chrysanthemum 'Pip Salmon'

With the most incredible markings of crimson over soft apricot-buff, this flowers in October and November

Geum 'Mai Tai'

All geums are invaluable for filling the May and early June colour gap after the bulbs have finished and most perennials and roses have yet to get going

Digitalis 'Dalmatian Peach' F1 Hybrid

These make excellent cut flowers with pale apricot blooms, spotted on the inside

Rosa 'Phyllis Bide'

A repeat-flowering rambler with lovely, long-lasting sprays of small, apricot pink flowers flushed with pale yellow. ‘Phyllis Bide’ has a sweet fragrance, not too strong. It’s not as thorny as some
