Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Bi-colour decorative dahlias bring extra detail to the border, with each bloom showing subtle shading that reads especially well in bouquets and close-up planting.

Dahlia 'Pink Petticoat' carries elegant white blooms tipped soft pink, creating a fresh bi-colour effect that reads bright and romantic in sunny borders and cut flower arrangements.

Its tall stems and generous flowering habit make it a useful garden performer as well as a reliable source of stems from midsummer onward.

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a warm, sunny position once frosts have passed, and enrich the planting area with compost for stronger growth and more abundant flowering.

Deadhead regularly, water during dry spells and lift tubers for winter storage in colder districts.

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.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

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!
