Dahlia 'Chapeau Bas' willl fast become a most welcome focal point in your borders and containers, bringing a touch of exotic charm with its generous blooms. Use it as a highlight in the garden, in sun you’ll see it shine, under flickering dappled shade it’ll positively glow.  

Who needs a Caribbean holiday or a fancy cocktail when you have this tantalising tropical beauty to admire in your own garden? Dahlia 'Chapeau Bas' is a striking number which stands at around 1m tall. Once it gets into the swing of it, flowers keep on coming all summer long until the first frosts so it won’t leave you short of cutting material for your home-made posies. Keep cutting them or deadheading them regularly and you will encourage more blooms to emerge through the season. Try planting Dahlia 'Chapeau Bas' with something tropical looking like cannas, particularly those with dark foliage – it will pop!
