Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Open-centred dahlia forms such as collarette types are especially attractive to pollinating insects, while still offering the long season and garden performance dahlias are known for.

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.

Although smaller in stature than many dahlias, it flowers generously and steadily, making it a useful choice where long colour is needed without too much height.

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.

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!
