Dahlia Myrtle's Folly

If you want a flower that the neighbours will be jealous of, try Dahlia Myrtle's Folly - it's a showstopper! Apart from its huge size (flowers up to 20cm wide), it's the form that is really different, but if you like your dahlias a little more subtle then do check out our full range as there's bound to be something there to suit you.

The narrow twisted petals or Myrtle's Folly are split at the ends, giving a fuzzy, powderpuff-like appearance. This sets off its fabulous blend of colours, from deep pink and mauve to light orange, gold and coral, with a yellow centre as the bloom ages.

These fantastic flowers are set above dark green foliage - nothing can compete with such foolishness!

How to use Myrtle's Folly

You can use Myrtle's Folly in the middle/back of the border but be sure to choose a sheltered spot away from strong winds and stake well. It's best surrounded by dark or plain green foliage or tall grasses, as the flowers can be too much when mixed with lots of other shapes. It's best in groups of five for a good show.

It also has excellent stems for cutting and the flowers are long-lasting, if you pick them fully open - imagine three of those blooms in a large vase or arrangement.

Myrtle's Folly, was introduced in 1998, and is still widely used as an exhibition dahlia; it is extremely popular with judges and growers alike.

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.
