Description

Set the task of picking one stem of each of my favourite dahlias from our Perch Hill borders, this is what I came up with. They are all incredibly perennial with us, re-emerging spring after spring in amongst our artichokes, rhubarb, phlox and heleniums, a 100% reliable summer and autumn border mix of jewels.

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

This collection contains 1 or 2 tubers each of:
  • Dahlia 'Urchin'
  • Dahlia 'Berner Oberland'
  • Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff'
  • Dahlia 'Mambo'
  • Dahlia 'After Dusk'
  • Dahlia 'Bacardi'

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.

Please note: only items which are showing ‘in stock’ can be gift wrapped.

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.
