Dahlia collection 'Decorative Mix'

Few flowers capture the imagination quite like decorative dahlias. When gardeners picture a classic dahlia, it is almost always a decorative type they are imagining: tall, confident plants crowned with gloriously oversized blooms that make no apology for their presence. Dahlia 'Decorative Mix' brings together a carefully balanced selection of dinnerplate and decorative forms in a rich sweep of colours, from soft creams and blush tones to jewel-like reds, purples and sunset shades. Each plant rises with purpose through summer, producing those unmistakable full-petalled flowers that stop visitors mid-step and invite closer inspection. Whether cut for lavish indoor arrangements or admired in situ, this exclusive deccorative dahlia blend offers drama in its most joyful, generous form.

To truly appreciate the impact of Dahlia 'Decorative Mix', consider planting it en masse, where the blooms can converse with one another across an entire bed. A dedicated planting creates a painterly effect, almost as though the garden itself has been brushed with colour. That said, Dahlia 'Decorative Mix' is equally capable of holding its own in a busy mixed border, rising above neighbouring perennials with an air of quiet confidence. These are flowers that relish attention, rewarding a little care with weeks of exuberant display from mid-summer into autumn. Reliable, theatrical and endlessly photogenic, decorative dahlias earn their place as centrepieces in gardens that value beauty and abundance in equal measure.

Gardening tip:
"Chances are, your decorative dahlias will need stakes to support those gigantic blooms. You don’t want to damage your precious dahlia tubers, so plant the stakes at the same time as the bulbs."
