Curated by Sarah to work brilliantly in your garden
Top size bulbs for bigger flowers
Easy to grow
Inspired by the sumptuous texture and intensity of velvet. Eccentrically, my wedding dress was this texture and colour and I absolutely love it
Three exquisite dahlias I’ve grown to love over the years for the drama they bring to border and vase. Shades span from a deep crimson to oxblood. All with elegant long stems for cutting.
This collection contains 1 or 2 tubers each of:- Dahlia 'Hollyhill Black Beauty'
- Dahlia 'Bishop of Auckland'
- Dahlia 'Nuit d'Ete' syn. 'Summer Night'
All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.
