Bea’s Summer Dahlia Collection

Many new varieties here, selected by Bea Andrews, our Head Gardener before Josie Lewis, from our dahlia trial beds. Bea is now a florist and comes back to Perch Hill to decorate the whole place for our open days. She KNOWS what she likes to pick and these were her favourites last summer and autumn.

This collection contains 1 or 2 tubers each of:

• Dahlia ‘Break Out’
• Dahlia ‘Beauty Queen’
• Dahlia ‘Ellen Nauta’
• Dahlia ‘Dutch Pearl’
• Dahlia ‘Jowey Frambo’
• Dahlia ‘Perch Hill’

All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.

Bulb collections and mixes whats the difference?

Collections are supplied with individual varieties packed into separate bags so they can be identified when planting out. Bulbs in our mixes are supplied jumbled together in one bag, to give a looser, more natural feel.
