Dahlia Berger's Record

Berger's Record Dahlias are far from subtle. Instead this iconic red semi-cactus variety has flowers which, with their large heads of masses of quill-shaped pointed petals, look like exploding fireworks. Too bright? Then you can find more subdues varieties in the rest of our extensive range.

For dahlias that only grow to about 90 cm tall, Berger's Record can carry blooms of up to 20cm across on sturdy, upright stems, although you will have to nip out the side buds to get them this big. Most people prefer to have more flowers that are slightly smaller, unless they are for exhibition.

Berger's Record Dahlias In Your Garden

Unsurprisingly, this is a flower that has quite a presence in the border, especially alongside other fiery-coloured dahlias and late-summer flowering perennials.

Bergers Record are quite compact plants and so will do well in pots but however you grow them it is important to stake them well and avoid a windy spot, as the heavy flower heads can snap off. Keep well watered, fed and remember to deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers to form.

They make wonderful subjects as cut flowers - just three in a vase is all that's needed and they're long-lasting, too.

A favourite for the showbench, you'll often see Berger's Record Dahlias in local late summer flower shows. If you want to compete, don't forget to disbud to get the biggest flowers possible!

Did You Know...

Introduced in 1964, you'll also find Berger's Record listed as Berger's Record and Berger Record, plus with and without apostrophes! To make matters worse, Record may also be spelt Rekord - the RHS Nomenclature Committee is overworked, but this is surely one for them to sort out...

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.

Ashridge Nurseries is working as normal and the despatching of bareroot plants is underway.
