Description
Discover our best value collection of 3 two-coloured Dahlia varieties, in shades or white and purple. Their flowers, with a range of different shapes and sizes, brilliantly interpret the combination of these two contrasting tones in their own way. These Dahlias flower abundantly for 4 months, from July until the first frosts. The purple and white combo, both whimsical and romantic, brings unique charm to any flower bed or bouquet. A small touch of pink or blue will enhance your composition, both in the garden or in a vase.
This collection includes:
-1x Decorative Dahlia 'Edge of Joy': quite unique and truly original, it produces 8 cm (3in) flowers that are open, semi-double, swirling, mostly two-coloured, in shades of white, pink, mauve, purple, deep fuchsia to magenta. Height: about 90 cm (35in)
-1x Dahlia 'Rebecca's World': dozens of 13 cm (5in) flowers, semi-cactus type, either plain or two-coloured, purple and white, variegated or speckled, all different on the same plant. Height: about 1.10 m (4ft)
-1x Dahlia 'Mystery Day': irresistible flowers, reaching 20 cm (8in) in diameter, two-coloured, fully double, blooming in a striking explosion of colours from wine-red to dark purple and pure white. A flower of excellent durability, on a stem reaching 1 m (3ft) in height.
To encourage reblooming, make sure to remove faded flowers, or even better, regularly make large and colourful bouquets by combining them with other varieties. With their brilliant two-coloured flowers, the dahlias in this collection match particularly well with white, pale blue, or pink flowers. They will be enhanced by the blue of delphiniums and the vivid green of lady's mantle. In flower beds, plant them alongside asters, for example, which bloom at the same time, or grasses, at their peak of beauty. They also help enhance bouquets later in the season. In a vase, the purple and white flowers of these dahlias will look stunning with grey foliage, the plumes of pampas grass, or the purple tones of 'Velvet Curtains' prince's feathers (amaranths).
A star plant of borders and herb gardens, Dahlias confidently mix with beautiful flowers, and look equally good alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuber was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste qualities assigned it the rank of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
Plant your dahlias in the spring, in deeply loosened soil that has been enriched, for example with crushed horn or dehydrated blood. Place the tubers and break up the soil to fill the hole while avoiding air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with 6 cm (2in) of soil. After planting, add one litre of water. Water regularly during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold; they need to be overwintered indoors. In November, the first frost will blacken the foliage: that's the moment to dig them up. Carefully dig up the tubers and remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry, so that the tuber can replenish its reserves. When the foliage is dry, cut the stems 10 cm (4in) away from the tuber. Spread the tubers in a box, on a sheet of newspaper. Store away from frosts in a dry, cool, and dark place.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
