DAHLIA // Thereās so much to love about dahlias. With their beautiful, intricate blooms and incredible range of colours, they bring a wonderful sense of abundance to the garden. From soft blush pinks and creamy whites to vibrant reds, rich burgundies, sunny yellows and fiery oranges, thereās a dahlia for almost every garden palette.
Where to plant your dahlias?
Dahlias are beautiful planted in garden beds, where you can group different varieties together for a generous display of colour. They also grow wonderfully in pots, making them perfect for patios, courtyards and smaller gardens. Choose a generously sized pot with excellent drainage, and remember that taller varieties may need staking.
What to plant alongside them?
Dahlias look gorgeous mixed with salvias, cosmos, zinnias and ornamental grasses. These companion plants add different heights, textures and flower shapes, creating a garden that feels layered and full of life. Try combining soft pink dahlias with purple salvias and airy grasses for a beautiful, relaxed look, or pair orange and yellow dahlias with contrasting purple flowers for something bolder.
Whether you plant them in pots or let them fill a garden bed, dahlias are a wonderful way to bring colour, texture and seasonal interest into your outdoor space.
