Dahlia 'Picking Garden Mix' brings a surprise mix of colours and flower forms for bouquets 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 80–120 cm, 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.
Phlox paniculata Mixed produces an uplifting blend of scented summer flowers in a range of shades, bringing a classic cottage-garden feel to borders and delivering plenty of stems for cutting.
These hardy perennials form upright clumps and typically reach around 1–1.5m tall, carrying dense heads of starry blooms that open over weeks, providing long-lasting colour through mid to late summer.
Plant in full sun or light partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Phlox appreciates consistent moisture and benefits from a mulched root run to help prevent stress in hot weather.
Water during dry spells and deadhead to encourage further blooms. Improve airflow by spacing plants well, and cut stems back to the base in late autumn after flowering has finished.
Ideal for mixed borders and wildlife-friendly gardens, phlox pairs beautifully with grasses and daisies, and the sweetly scented flowers are also loved by pollinators throughout the summer.
