With the border either side of the path 5 meters deep, our Dahlia Garden is divided into a network of Dahlias and grasses, framed by a series of Agapanthuses. At this time of the year the plants are the star attraction with 112 varieties of Dahlia in four distinct styles and a multitude of colours.
The planting arrangement of flowers and grasses create a series of colourful flower-filled rooms running down the garden from top to bottom. Each individual room is planted with 4 varieties Dahila of the same form, whether it be cactus, ball, collarette and decorative.
Each room within the garden aims to create a focal point for each of our four selected Dahlia forms. Maintaining a consistent form, these ‘Dahlia rooms’ pick out the individual nuances of each plant, whether it be the strong vibrant reds of the ‘perfectos – cactus’ or the contrasting tones so apparent in collarettes such as ‘mary evelyn’.
Planted at intervals around the perimeter and along the path, the bell-shaped flowers of 6 varieties of Agapanthus – each with their own definite blue, hem the planting structure to complete the garden’s form.
