Tried and tested by the team
Curated by Sarah to work brilliantly in your garden
Easy to grow

Named after a friend, Dicky Schipper, who spotted this one, and 'Schipper's Bronze' (it's copper bronze cousin) in a breeder’s field in Holland

'Schipper's Choice' is equally as exquisite, it's copper bronze cousin - beautifully shaped, perfect for pollinators, but in a dark pinky-ink colour that fades as it reaches the tip of each petal. It is brilliant for a container or front of a border - hugely recommended.

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

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.
