Dahlia 'Ferncliff Illusion'

Create an unmissable display of big blooms at an impressive height of up to 1.5m with Dahlia 'Ferncliff Illusion'—you won’t be able to believe your eyes! It’s not only big but beautiful too: a vision of loveliness in bright white, the petals delicately brushed with lilac at the tips. It flaunts high-impact, petal packed flowers which measure up to 20cm across. Broad, flat, neatly pointed petals have a habit of curving and twisting slightly, giving it a full, luxurious and also relaxed look. Towering above most other dahlias, the mighty Dahlia 'Ferncliff Illusion' will be a shining beacon in the garden, especially when the sunlight hits those crisp, white petals.  

Despite its size, Dahlia 'Ferncliff Illusion' doesn’t dominate but just creates another tier of interest to your planting scheme. It’s also highly prized among floral designers, who value the elegance of its blooms as well as the strong, sturdy stems the plant produces. As a garden plant it is sizeable so it works well in a mixed border among other dahlias, perennials or tall foliage plants like cannas. For maximum impact, plant more than one at intervals around the garden to create rhythmic planting, a technique often used by garden designers. Shining on with very long flowering period through summer months and into autumn, Dahlia 'Ferncliff Illusion' is a valuable asset to any garden.
