Description

Looking like a gaggle of Miami beach lovelies from the 1950’s, this dahlia collection is undiluted positivity and optimism. It shot to the top of my much-loved list last summer.

All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.

This collection contains 1 or 2 tubers each of:
  • Dahlia 'Perch Hill'
  • Dahlia 'Café au Lait Royal'
  • Dahlia 'Labyrinth'
  • Dahlia 'Penhill Watermelon'
  • Dahlia 'Daisy Duke'
  • Dahlia 'Molly Raven'
  • Dahlia 'Mango Madness'
  • Dahlia 'Preference'

This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.

Please note: only items which are showing ‘in stock’ can be gift wrapped.

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.
