Dahlias are bang on trend

Growing Dahlias for Our Cut Flower Patch; A Floral Designer's Dream!

Did you know we are members of Flowers from the Farm.

At the Solent Flower Patch, dahlias are a key part of what makes our floral designs so stunning at the end of summer and into Autumn. Their vibrant colours, unique shapes, and long vase life make them a perfect choice for our designs. From soft pastels to bold, dramatic hues, we grow a diverse selection of dahlias that allow us to create a little bit of drama!

Our patch is carefully planned, selecting a mix of varieties like pompons for texture, dinnerplates for a statement, and singles for a delicate touch. Dahlias thrive in our sunny, well-drained beds, and with proper care—regular watering, feeding, and deadheading—we enjoy continuous blooms from mid-summer through the Autumn.

Cutting dahlias at their peak ensures they stay fresh and vibrant in our designs. Their long stems and stunning blooms add depth and drama to our arrangements, making them a floral designer’s favorite for creating eye-catching pieces that wow every time.

With dahlias, every design tells a story of nature’s beauty and the care we put into growing them.
