Description

A spectacular dinner-plate dahlia with huge flower heads up to 25cm across, Dahlia 'Emory Paul' makes a fantastic focal point wherever it is planted. There is no exaggerating the size of these enormous blooms, among the largest of all dahlias, so if you’re looking to create a splash, this is a must-have! What’s more, they stand out with their vibrant colour and their beautiful form, from a tightly-packed bold fuchsia-pink centre to ruffled, slightly pointed petals radiating outwards in a lighter shade of rose-pink. Very sturdy stems support Dahlia 'Emory Paul's incredible flowers.

The exceptional qualities of Dahlia 'Emory Paul' were recognised in an RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) People’s Choice Award. Growing to around a metre tall and flowering in summer and through the autumn until the frosts arrive, this decorative dahlia will create great impact in flower borders, either as a stand-out specimen, or jostling among other late-season favourites. It could be the centrepiece of a tropical display with cannas and bold-leaved plants, or paired with classic autumnal grasses and asters. As a cut flower, Dahlia 'Emory Paul' excels, adding instant glamour to bouquets and vases.

Dahlias in 60 seconds

Dahlias like full sun and a free-draining soil, and should be lifted and stored in winter, or at least protected with peat or straw. Dahlia flowers can range from 5 to 25cm in diameter and those magnificent larger-flowering dahlias might appreciate a little extra support with canes!
