What makes Dahlia Embassy particularly unique is its adaptability to different garden designs. Whether incorporated into a formal garden, a mixed border, or as a highlight in a cutting garden, this dahlia’s deep, jewel-like hues bring a touch of luxury and warmth.

We supply high-quality Dahlia Embassy tubers to British gardeners looking for an impactful addition to their floral collection. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil and position in full sun to enjoy its fullest potential. Regular watering is essential, but be mindful to avoid overwatering to maintain healthy tubers. In colder regions, lifting and storing the tubers over winter will ensure their vitality for future planting.
