Dahlia ‘Arthur Hambley’ is a classic Giant Decorative variety, boasting enormous lavender-pink blooms that command attention in any garden border or floral display.
Standing tall at around 120cm, this robust variety produces huge, fully double flowers that can exceed 25cm in diameter. The petals are broad and slightly curved, creating a lush, full shape with a soft, silvery sheen that glows in the evening light.
Plant in full sun to maximise flowering potential, ensuring the soil is free-draining and enriched with organic matter. Due to the sheer weight of the blooms, robust staking is required from the moment of planting to prevent wind damage.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and pinch out the growing tips in early summer to promote bushier growth and more flowering stems. Feed regularly with tomato fertiliser to fuel the production of its giant blooms.
Perfect for the back of the border, ‘Arthur Hambley’ creates a stunning backdrop for lower-growing perennials. Its long, strong stems make it an exceptional cut flower, where just a single stem can make a dramatic statement in a vase.
Anemone coronaria ‘Mount Everest’ (St. Brigid) is a picture of understated elegance—pure white, fully double flowers held neatly above mid‑green foliage. Exceptionally smart in pots and at the front of the border, it also makes a beautifully crisp cut flower for small vases and spring arrangements.
- Flower style: fully double, St. Brigid Group in refined white
- Placement: ideal for pots & containers and the front of borders
- Cut flower friendly: a clean, tailored look indoors
- Pollinator friendly: a welcome stop for visiting insects

Tigridia pavonia 'Mixed' brings a vibrant, exotic mix of peacock-like flowers with spotted centres to summer borders, with exotic, patterned flowers that open wide in sunshine. Each bloom is short-lived, but plants carry many buds, so you still get weeks of colour in warm weather.
Growing to around 45–60 cm, tiger flowers are upright and slim, making them great for weaving through planting and for pots. They look best planted in generous clumps, where the daily opening flowers create a lively, changing display.
Plant bulbs in spring after the risk of frost has passed, in full sun and well-drained soil. A warm, sheltered spot helps them flower strongly; start in pots under cover for an earlier display if needed.
Water after planting and during dry spells while shoots develop. Feed every couple of weeks once growth is established to support flowering. As temperatures cool, reduce watering and allow foliage to die back naturally.
Perfect for colourful summer pots and exotic-style borders, tigridias also make fun, unusual cut flowers. Lift and store bulbs frost-free in colder or wetter gardens to replant the following spring.
Dahlia 'Impression Fabula' is a compact collarette-style dahlia with pink outer petals framing a bright white collar, giving it a lively, open look that suits borders, patio pots and pollinator-friendly planting.

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position after the last frosts, using fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering while growth gets underway.
Deadhead to maintain continuous flowering and lift tubers in autumn where winter cold is severe.
Allium sphaerocephalon is a wonderfully refined choice for extending the season with poise. Slender stems rise above neat, narrow foliage, each topped with a dense, rounded head in rich pink to red tones—an elegant punctuation mark through early to late summer.

Dahlia ‘Rainbow Silence’ is a delightful decorative variety that features a harmonious blend of soft peach, lilac, and yellow tones. The petals transition gently between these warm, sunset hues, creating a multifaceted bloom that looks different from every angle.
This variety forms a bushy, medium-height plant with strong stems that display the flowers well above the foliage. The blooms are fully double and rounded, offering a classic dahlia shape with a modern, pastel colour twist.
Plant in a sunny, sheltered position in moist, fertile soil. The complex colouring of the petals is best appreciated in a spot where the flowers can be viewed up close, such as near a path or patio.
Water regularly during the growing season and apply a balanced liquid feed every couple of weeks once the buds appear. Remove spent flowers to channel energy into new growth and lift the tubers for winter storage in colder regions.
A brilliant choice for pastel-themed gardens, ‘Rainbow Silence’ provides a soft, glowing presence in the border and makes a wonderful cut flower that bridges the gap between pink and yellow arrangements.
Dahlia 'Nescio' brings neat, perfectly rounded pompon blooms in bright red to summer borders and cutting gardens, with bold flowerheads held on sturdy stems. Whether planted in drifts or dotted through mixed beds, the blooms add instant impact and keep coming through the warm months.
Once established, this clump-forming dahlia typically reaches 1 m, producing plenty of long stems for cutting. Regular picking and deadheading encourages a steady succession of flowers from midsummer into autumn.
Start tubers in a frost-free place in spring, or plant outside once the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, and enrich the planting area with compost for best results.
Water during dry spells, especially while buds form, and feed every two to three weeks through the flowering period. Taller plants benefit from discreet staking, and removing faded blooms keeps the plant productive and tidy.
Perfect for borders, patio pots and cutting gardens, dahlias are also pollinator-friendly in single-flowered forms. Lift and store the tubers after the first frosts in colder areas to enjoy an even better display the following year.

Forming a clump to around 55cm tall, it produces spikes of funnel-shaped, lavender-blue flowers in summer. The leaves are puckered and sturdy, creating a handsome mound that works as groundcover or a focal point.
Plant in partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Hostas prefer cool roots, so they benefit from mulch and from protection from hot afternoon sun in exposed gardens.

Plant in a sunny, open spot in fertile, well-drained soil. It appreciates a position with good air circulation to keep the foliage healthy and free from mildew later in the season.
