Open pollinated seeds collected from our very own breeding patch so if you haven't been able to collect  seeds from your own Dahlias this is a perfect way to grow your own unique varieties. 

Our Dahlias patch contains a mix of blooms from dinnerplates to pom poms and everything in between. We don't grow any reds and a minimal number of  very pale yellows. Seeds have been collected  across all  vareties.

HOW TO SOW DAHLIAS:

    Please note that the majority of our seeds are packed by volume so the number of seeds indicated is an approximation.

    We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK flower farms
