Fleurel Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia

Looking for a standout floral choice? Look no further than Fleurel Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia - one of Elke's top picks this season!

The Fleurel Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia is at the top of my favourite’s list, and it’s easy to see why. Its enormous, pure white blooms are breathtaking, bringing elegance and drama to every garden and bouquet. Every time I see it in full bloom, it feels like nature’s way of showing off. Such a great conversation piece too! 

Fleurel is a breathtaking variety with an elegant appeal. Its massive, snow white blooms feature a delicate touch of creamy butter yellow at the centre, adding a hint of warmth to its many petals. Though compact in height, Fleurel makes a bold statement in the garden with its lush, oversized flowers that bloom all season. This variety’s refined beauty is ideal for special occasions, from wedding bouquets to floral arrangements, bringing a timeless and unforgettable charm wherever it’s displayed.

Are you looking for huge flowers? If so, then these extra large versions of the Decorative Dahlia are definitely the right choice. With flower heads the size of dinner plates (9-11 in, 23-28 cm) they’re certainly a feast for the eyes! Originating from Mexico and Guatemala, these were the flowers of Inca kings and despite their royal origins Dahlias are amongst the easiest plants to grow in the garden.

They are a wonderful source of cut flowers and will provide a veritable cornucopia of colourful blooms for your bouquets from mid summer until the first frost. Hardy as they are, Dahlias are susceptible to cold so be careful not to plant them too early and be sure to dig them up after the first frost and store them in a frost-free place.
