Feeling a little envious of all the dahlias in your neighbours’ gardens or on your Instagram feed? Let me entice you even further with next summer’s temptations - so your garden can be just as delicious in 2025!
If there’s anywhere to get inspiration for your next dahlia purchases, it’s the CNB trial garden at De Tulperij in the Netherlands. There are so many showstoppers here that it was very hard to narrow down my favourites and avoid any that were too similar in appearance. But, I managed it, and you can see them all below!
Also, I recommend visiting the show garden at De Tulperij if you’re in the country between now and 11th October - there are over 600 varieties in flower, and you can even book a workshop to help you learn more about planting and caring for dahlias, so that you can get the best out of your plants.
Without further ado, browse my favourite De Tulperij dahlia picks below, and use the links below each image to shop your must-haves!
