Description

I swore I had enough treasured dark dahlias and could not find room for another, but then I saw this in a dahlia trial field last autumn and fell upon it – a waterlily in the richest crimson. It's super long-lasting in the garden and vase.

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

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.
