OUR DAHLIA FIELD update 29th July 2026
Our dahlia field will be open from 13th August until end of October.
PLEASE NOTE WE ARE EXPERIENCING DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND DISPITE REGULAR WATERING OUR FIELD IS NOT GROWING AT ITS USUAL RATE, THEREFORE ONLY HALF THE FIELD WILL OPEN ON THE 13TH AUGUST,AND WE ARE HOPING THE WHOLE FIELD WILL BE OPEN AT THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER TO THE END OF OCTOBER. The SECOND HALF OF THE FIELD WAS PLANTED LATER DUE TO THE HEATWAVE WE HAD AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY WHICH PREVENTED US FROM PLANTING AND SORTING OUT PATHWAYS. BUT THE BEST TIME TO VISIT WILL BE THE END OF AUGUST BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER ONWARDS. UNLESS WE HAVE WHAT THEY CALL RAIN SOONER, AND REMEMBER DAHLIAS SHOULD BE A LATE FLOWERING PLANT ANYWAY.

Why Dahlia's?
Dahlias are an amazing plant that will flower from the middle of July right through to the first frost, which in some areas can be the end of October beginning of November. What other plant would give so much joy for such a long flowering period? Whether using the dahlia for mixing it into an existing flower border or into a container, or just the excitement of growing the perfect bloom for the show bench.
A flower with so many colour variations, some of the two toned colours look as if they have been created by an artist with great dedication.
A flower with so many different size and shape blooms some as large as dinner plates (ones for the boys) right down to the small pom dahlias. And in recent years the dahlia has been used in the garden more to attract bees especially the single petaled varieties where the pollen is on show from the minute the bud opens up. Single or Collerette varieties are good examples of dahlias which are good for the bees as the pollen is exposed straight away.
Even if you only have a small garden or a patio there is a dahlia for everyone.
They are quite happy grown in containers. Give them a try.
