Dahlia Good Earth

If you want to evoke the spirit of the competitive dahlia growers of past times, you'll grow no better than Dahlia Good Earth. This traditional dahlia is a medium cactus variety, with large spiky flowers, up to 15cm across, in a mixture of vibrant pink shades. The centres are a deep fuchsia pink and the petals become paler, almost white, as they reach the tips. They are lovely, but Good Earth dahlias don't sound like your thing then have a look at the rest of our range of dahlias for sale. There's sure to be something to suit you.

There's also a hint of yellow at the centres on flowers that have just opened, providing a lovely contrast to their deep pink.

The fully double blooms of Good Earth dahlias have pointed petals with a slight incurve towards the centres. This shape is typical of cactus-flowered dahlias which among the most dramatic of all British garden flowers.

Growing Good Earth Dahlias...

In the garden, use dahlia Good Earth in the middle or towards the back of mixed borders where it works as well in pastel coloured planting schemes as inones designed to catch the eye a little more. At about 100 cm tall use it in mid-border. It is also an essential in your cutting garden. Either way the flowers can get quite heavy and will need staking. We would not recommend it for growing in containers.

Dahlia Good Earth was one of the go-to varieties of the traditional exhibition growers, when dahlias were grown for show or cutting for the house. It is still as popular today as an exhibition variety in the cactus class at autumn flower shows.

It also makes an excellent cut flower and looks stunning in a vase with its retro good looks.

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.
