Description
You'll be wowed by this Dahlia, even from a hundred metres away! Dahlia 'Freya's Paso Doble' is one of the increasingly popular anemone-flowered varieties. In mid- to late summer, its buds open into stunning blooms, comprising wide, outer petals of bright white fading to lemon at the base, and a central boss of rich, golden yellow tubular petals. When fully open, blooms are around 12cm across. They'll make a beautiful display in sunny borders, or deep patio containers. Flowers will keep appearing until the first frosts of autumn. At the peak of its flowering, the recently-introduced Dahlia 'Freya's Paso Doble' will reach 100-120cm in height.
It has been known for anemone-flowered dahlias to fool many into thinking they are looking at a completely different flower. However, the sheer brilliance of the white and yellow colourings of this variety make it stand out from the rest. In fact, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) thinks so highly of Dahlia 'Freya's Paso Doble' that it awarded it the special Award of Garden Merit (AGM). So, for superior garden performance—and not forgetting that this Dahlia will also make a very fine cut flower—look no further.
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has given 120+ Dahlia cultivars an Award of Garden Merit, noting them as particularly garden worthy.
