Description

I want a coat of this. Purple-crimson in the main with buttonholes and stitching in the contrasting pink and silver of the flower’s heart. The epitome of richness.

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.
