Dahlia Tubers

Our Dahlia tubers are of the highest quality and will make your garden a brilliant summer spectacle. Dahlias are noted for their lovely flowers, which come in a broad range of colours, shapes, and sizes. Some are enormous and round like dinner plates, while others are sharp and pointy like cactus blossoms. These dahlias bloom for a long time, from the middle of summer until the first frost. This is why they are so popular in UK gardens.

We have many dahlia tubers, bulbs, and strong-growing perennial varieties that we picked because they are reliable, have a big impact, and produce a lot of blooms. Dahlias are easy to grow and will bloom for months.  You can use them to fill up borders with vibrant colours, construct a cutting garden, or look through our dahlia plants for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dahlias are tender perennials, so in most UK gardens it is best to lift tubers after the first frosts. This protects them from cold, wet soil over winter. In milder areas with good drainage, some gardeners choose to leave them in the ground with protection.
After lifting, allow the tubers to dry, then store them in a cool, frost-free place. Keep them in dry compost or paper to prevent moisture buildup. Check occasionally through winter to ensure they remain firm and healthy.
Yes, an unheated garage can work if it stays dry and frost-free. Tubers should be protected from damp and extreme cold. Good airflow and occasional checks help prevent rot during storage.
Dahlias grow very well in pots as long as containers are deep and well-drained. Compact varieties are especially suitable, and pots can be moved to sunny spots as needed.
One healthy dahlia tuber can produce many flowers over the season. With regular deadheading and good care, plants will continue to bloom from late summer until autumn.
