While you may have a perception of dahlias as being old-fashioned, and something that your grandad grew when you were younger, they have actually been enjoying a renaissance over the last few years, mainly because they provide such stunning colour and value for money in the late summer and autumn. So easy to grow, Dahlias are supplied as tubers, packed full of energy to burst into growth in spring. Plant in pots or in the garden and they will get away quickly from May, producing a mass of bright colours which will fill your garden as summer turns to autumn. Our collection of decorative dahlias will give you large, double blooms with colour-splashed petals and each pack provides 5 mixed colour tubers, which will reach around a metre tall, and produce plenty of flowers each. These can be cut for the house, or left to enjoy outdoors. Dead-heading will prolong flowering well into autumn. Plants will survive milder winters, but we recommend lifting the tubers and storing somewhere dry and frost-free over winter, or left in pots if that's how you choose to grow them.

This fabulous pair of cordyline plants in decorative planters will create a Mediterranean feel in your garden. They are perfect for adding an eye-catching, modern twist to a patio, terrace, or balcony, providing instant impact in even the most compact of spaces. With their regular, swirling pattern of leaves growing symmetrically from a slow-growing trunk, these cordylines make an interesting and architectural feature. Being evergreen, they will look attractive all year round, maintaining colour and structure through the autumn and winter when other plants begin to fade. The bigger the plant, the hardier they are - these can withstand temperatures of -7°C, but we always suggest using frost protection fleeces or wrapping or bringing the containers into a garage or porch during the coldest winters. Included with this pair of cordylines is a pair of 'wicker' design plastic planters with a 30cm diameter, providing you with a real 'instant impact' kit. Repot your cordyline right away into these attractive containers and place either side of doorways, gateways, pathways or patios and decking for a show-stopping display.
