Dahlia 'Bishop of Oxford' |
Have |
I bought a few of these , but what grew is not the Bishop of Oxford , so I am not going to pollute the database with the photographs. | ||
Classic Dahlia (Dahlia 'Classic Summertime') |
Have |
A core Dahlia, very pleasing yellow double of good form and leaf. | ||
Dahlia 'Furka' |
Have |
Wouldn't rush out to buy this. An interesting white cactus, but floppy headed when pot grown, may put it in the ground for 2015 and see if it does better. | ||
Dahlia 'Ruby' |
Have |
Good number of blooms in year two, excellent neck strength until just going over, blooms last for weeks in cooler conditions. Stable colour integrity, relatively narrow plant, four feet tall. | ||
Dahlia 'Taratahi Ruby' |
Have |
Beautiful flower, superb plant, slightly let down by drooping the head as it matures. | ||
Dahlia 'Teesbrooke Redeye' |
Have |
Small dahlia plant in scale, a few blooms, but an interesting collarette | ||
Nepal Lily (Lilium nepalense) |
Have |
A more difficult lily, with particular needs commented on in the database. | ||
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia 'Queen Victoria') |
Have |
Excellent recommended lobelia, wet feet, three feet tall, scarlet flowers on chocolate stems. | ||
Honey Bush (Melianthus major) |
Have |
A core plant for the silver green foliage, and odd flower spike after mild winters. I have it sprinkled around the gardens. |
