Product Description

Dahlia ‘Vancouver’ is a bold and eye-catching variety, valued for its oversized blooms and intense colouring. The richly coloured petals form impressive flower heads that stand out beautifully against green foliage, making this dahlia a true focal point in summer garden displays.

Growing to an eventual height of around 90cm, it performs best in sunny, sheltered positions away from strong winds. It thrives in well-cultivated soil enriched with organic matter and rewards gardeners with continuous flowering right through the summer months.

As well as making a striking border plant, Vancouver Dahlia is highly regarded for cutting, producing long-stemmed flowers that bring colour and drama indoors. Shorter growth also makes it suitable for large patio containers.
