Description
Be on top of the dinnerplate dahlia game with the latest queen of the big blooms, Dahlia 'Belle of Barmera'. With huge flowers formed of masses of curvy petals in shades of peach, mauve and coral pink, it’s just the epitome of luxury when it comes to plant style. If you like to grow your own cut flowers, just one of these Belles among other dahlias creates a mind-blowing yet effortlessly easy bouquet. If you prefer your dahlias as part of the garden, you’ll love the anticipation of watching these fascinating flowers unfurl, one after the other through summer and autumn.
One of the best things about dahlias is that they just keep on flowering, the more you cut or deadhead, the more will come along to take their place! With flowers this glorious, Dahlia 'Belle of Barmera' looks good anywhere and with anything, but if you’re looking for combination ideas try it with pink, mauve, black or maroon dahlias, or dark-leaved cannas to create a tropical effect.
