Best Value Dahlia Collection (purple and white)

Discover our best value collection of 3 two-coloured Dahlia varieties, in shades or white and purple. Their flowers, with a range of different shapes and sizes, brilliantly interpret the combination of these two contrasting tones in their own way. These Dahlias flower abundantly for 4 months, from July until the first frosts. The purple and white combo, both whimsical and romantic, brings unique charm to any flower bed or bouquet. A small touch of pink or blue will enhance your composition, both in the garden or in a vase.

This collection includes:

-1x Decorative Dahlia 'Edge of Joy': quite unique and truly original, it produces 8 cm (3in) flowers that are open, semi-double, swirling, mostly two-coloured, in shades of white, pink, mauve, purple, deep fuchsia to magenta. Height: about 90 cm (35in)

-1x Dahlia 'Rebecca's World': dozens of 13 cm (5in) flowers, semi-cactus type, either plain or two-coloured, purple and white, variegated or speckled, all different on the same plant. Height: about 1.10 m (4ft)

-1x Dahlia 'Mystery Day': irresistible flowers, reaching 20 cm (8in) in diameter, two-coloured, fully double, blooming in a striking explosion of colours from wine-red to dark purple and pure white. A flower of excellent durability, on a stem reaching 1 m (3ft) in height.

To encourage reblooming, make sure to remove faded flowers, or even better, regularly make large and colourful bouquets by combining them with other varieties. With their brilliant two-coloured flowers, the dahlias in this collection match particularly well with white, pale blue, or pink flowers. They will be enhanced by the blue of delphiniums and the vivid green of lady's mantle. In flower beds, plant them alongside asters, for example, which bloom at the same time, or grasses, at their peak of beauty. They also help enhance bouquets later in the season. In a vase, the purple and white flowers of these dahlias will look stunning with grey foliage, the plumes of pampas grass, or the purple tones of 'Velvet Curtains' prince's feathers (amaranths).

A star plant of borders and herb gardens, Dahlias confidently mix with beautiful flowers, and look equally good alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuber was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste qualities assigned it the rank of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.
