Gelber Vulcan

Nothing lifts the garden and the spirits quite like an enormous, bright yellow dahlia – as ‘Gelber Vulcan’ demonstrates with panache. Joyous and exuberant, this stunning variety will bring a sense of elation to your garden. Named ‘Vulcan’ after the Roman god of fire, the vivid golden blooms blaze like sunshine on a scorching summer’s day. With dinner-plate sized heads and towering stems, this flamboyant plant is an extrovert amongst beds and borders. The flowers burn bright from summer well into autumn, revivifying your display towards the end of the season and bringing brightness to the greyest of days.

Hollyhill Spiderwoman

The explosive blooms of dahlia ‘Hollyhill Spiderwoman’ are breath-taking. A textural, spidery mass of carmine, purple and ivory winding petals make up each magnificent flowerhead.
Flowering from July onwards, this dahlia will bloom in abundance. Pick the plentiful stems to enjoy indoors, adding the flowers to bouquets and arrangements, or displaying their intricate beauty in single bud vases.
We love this dahlia growing next to decorative dahlia ‘Evanah’, which resembles a soft-pink waterlily, and the bold magenta anemone-flowering dahlia ‘Richards Fortune’.
