Dahlias are showstopping summer and autumn-flowering perennials that deliver months of colour from July to October. With their bold, vibrant blooms in every shade imaginable — from rich reds and purples to soft pastels and whites — they bring instant drama to borders, pots, and cut flower arrangements.
Thriving in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, Dahlias reward regular deadheading with continuous flowering until the first frosts. They’re available in a wide range of flower forms, from single and pompom types to dinner-plate-sized blooms.
Popular varieties include Dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’, ‘Café au Lait’, and ‘David Howard’, all favourites for their reliability and striking colour. Whether grown in borders or containers, Dahlias add vibrant structure and long-lasting summer impact.
