Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Decorative dahlias combine bold flower size with a balanced, rounded form, making them some of the most versatile garden and cutting dahlias for late-season colour.

Dahlia 'Edinburgh' is a bold decorative variety with rich purple petals tipped white, creating a dramatic bi-colour effect that stands out brilliantly in late summer planting.

The flowers are full and symmetrical, carried on sturdy stems above a neat, bushy plant that performs well in borders and provides striking stems for cutting.

Grow it in a sunny, sheltered site with fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, planting after the last frosts for the strongest start.

Feed and deadhead regularly through the season to keep flowers coming, then lift and store the tubers before severe winter cold.

Where to Plant:

Choose a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Dahlias thrive in warmth and perform best where they receive plenty of light and good air movement.

How to Plant:

Start tubers under cover in spring or plant out once frosts have passed. Set the crown just below the soil surface, spacing plants well so stems have room to develop. Add support early for taller varieties and improve soil with compost before planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry spells and feed through the growing season to support repeat flowering. Deadhead often to keep new buds coming, and lift tubers after the first frost in colder areas for frost-free winter storage.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
