Dahlia Sam Hopkins

For that elegant, classic waterlily shape Sam Hopkins is the man for you. As they open the blooms look as if they have tailored from near black velvet and they hold a maroon colour until they are over. However if you're looking for something lighter or less dramatic then look at the rest of our range of dahlias for sale.

Growing Sam Hopkins Dahlias

As a plant, Sam Hopkins is not the biggest dahlia as it tops out at about 100 cm (3ft 3 inches). It will spread about 60 cm (2ft) so it should be grown mid- border in good soil in a sunny spot. However - this is a good thing - it also has good sized flower heads - you can make them bigger by pinching out the side buds as soon as they form. The stems are sturdy but the shape of the flower is such that it collects water when it rains. This makes it heavy so and break easily in a wind. So keep this dahlia in a sheltered spot and stake it very well. Also great in your cutting garden and can be grown in a sheltered spot in a good sized container - at least 10 litres for the best results. Remember to water and feed - especially in a pot. Dahlias are both greedy and thirsty...

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.
