Dahlias

We are one of the UK's leading Dahlia specialists, stocking over 200 varieties in a wide range of colours and classifications which can be used for Cut Flowers, Exhibiting or Garden Display.

The Dahlia fields are open for viewing from mid August to end September each year daily from 10am to 4.30pm. Almost 6500 plants are in the fields in nearly 300 varieties including 50 or so on trial from amateur breeders and from growers overseas. Potentially the best of these could be included in our catalogue in future years.

Our Trade displays have gained us many Gold Medals since first exhibiting in 1933. Annually, together with Chrysanthemums we produce well over 100,000 plants.

These are sent via our Mail Order service throughout the U.K., or may be collected.

We are able to offer an export service for Dahlia Tubers to  areas outside the EU. Details of additional costs will be added to a sperate page as soon as possible. In the meantime please e-mail us with you enquiries. We have many loyal and enthusiastic customers and also a number of wholesale trade customers. As one of the UK's leading Dahlia suppliers, all enquiries are welcome.

All varieties have been thoroughly tested on the nurseries and they are offered with complete confidence. Classification: The classification on Dahlias is based on the NDS Classified Directory 2009, 30th Edition. Some varieties of recent introduction have not yet been classified, so we have included them in what we consider to be the correct classification after trial on the nursery.

Dahlias are offered in 2 forms:

DAHLIA POT TUBERS : The tubers we offer are dahlias which have been grown for a full season in the confines of a 4” or 5” pot, so that a small compact tuber is produced. They are ideal material for the exhibitor with a heated greenhouse or propagator to enable their own propagation. Tubers are available from DECEMBER to FEBRUARY and are packed in polythene sleeves with vermiculite. We strongly advise unpacking on arrival and if necessary store tubers in a cool frost free environment until required for setting away. A minimum of 50F (10 C) is required for propagation, water sparingly until growth is evident.

DAHLIA MINI PLANTS : These are strong rooted cuttings for those customers who have the facilities for potting up and growing on under glass, minimum 50F (10 C). Delivery is during mid March to end May only. We will make every effort to supply during the week requested but orders must be in the office at least FIVE WEEKS BEFORE the order is required. No Mini Plant orders (except for our special collections) are accepted after 10 th April.

POT GROWN PLANTS : We no longer offer pot grown Dahlias by Mail order. However we will have a selection available at our Heddon nursery from mid April-early June on a first come first served basis.
