Get the garden glowing this summer with the help of Dahlia 'David Howard' and its toasty ember hues. Sultry dark foliage makes a searing contrast with the lip-smacking marmalade orange blooms of this summer sizzler! From British breeding, this decorative variety was discovered by the Suffolk nurseryman David Howard, who happily gave it his own name. This bronzed beauty owes its near-black foliage to its well-respected parent, Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff'. Now you know its credentials, you’ll see why it has a reputation for performance and quality. In fact, once it starts to flower, Dahlia 'David Howard' goes on and on until late autumn.  With so many blooms, you will never be short of cut flowers!  

There’s nothing subtle about Dahlia 'David Howard' – but that’s the point really! Its lava-like shades smoulder on hot, balmy days, bringing a blaze of colour to ignite fading late summer borders. Perfect for tropical planting schemes or a dazzling focal point on the patio. Flourishing on any well drained soil, this hardworking dahlia is a keeper – be sure to store it in a frost free place in winter for a repeat display the following year.
