Description

If I was asked to select a dahlia which looked most like a peony, it would be 'Islander', with vast, curvaceous, luscious blooms. I absolutely love it.

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.
