Dahlia ‘Diana’s Memory’
This Dahlia is so hard to get hold of because the ‘big boy’ professional growers want it for the wholesale cut flower markets!
This reminds me of Dahlia ‘Cafe Au Lait’, but a little smaller, with a waterlily shaped flower that is so easy to arrange with.
Blooming on long strong stems with beautiful, delicate flowers that mix so well with roses. They give a different shape that is so important in arrangements.
Dahlia ‘Diana’s Memory’ is a classic beauty, soft creamy pink flowers that go with everything.
Totally romantic, perfect for Weddings. get your hands on this limited edition to our tuber sale this year while you can!

Cutting /Vase Life:
Dahlias do not continue to open once cut so pick when blooms are ¾ of the way open. Check the back of the flower head to check all the petals are perfect. The petals turn papery, drop and lose colour once they start to go over. Deadhead flowers to give plants back the energy to ripen the next flower rather than work on producing seed.
Place flowers straight into ready buckets of water, we rest our blooms for a few hours in water, this is called conditioning.
