Dahlia 'Jonathan Buckley'
- Exclusive
- Good for Cutting
- Loved by Pollinators
Shooting straight into my top 10, I fell on this chance seedling of Dahlia 'Molly Raven' with beautiful colouring and semi-double flowers, perfect for picking and for the pollinators. I love it so much I’ve named it after my friend and colleague Jonathan Buckley, who’s been photographing dahlias with me now for 30 years
All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.
