Description
For a bit of old-fashioned glamour, look no further than the huge, dinnerplate blooms of Dahlia 'Bristol Stripe'. Measuring up to 22cm across, these whoppers are a one-plant garden transformation, guaranteed to elicit a wow from the lips of all who see them. Generously packed with flicked, curving petals, no two blooms of Dahlia 'Bristol Stripe' are ever the same: with each offering its own unique take on the raspberries and cream colour scheme. Within one plant, blooms can range from almost totally cream to nearly full magenta, and every blend in between. Never a dull moment with Dahlia 'Bristol Stripe' in flower!
Large-flowered varieties such as Dahlia 'Bristol Stripe' can benefit from additional support, particularly if grown in a windy spot. Always install supports when plants are relatively small, as large plants which have already flopped over and been hoisted up rarely look as natural as those grown through supports.
