Someone asked me (hello!) what my top five dahlias I am looking forward to growing again this year and realistically I can't actually choose absolute favourites as I have a lot of love for SO MANY, particularly my Queen Vic seedlings but here are five that I am head over heels for in no particular order π
1 - QV seedling yet to be named :) Potential 2026 release. This one blooms it's head off, is a taller plant, medium size blooms as is what I use in place of cafe au lait on my farm.
2 - QV seedling yet to be named :) Lots of blooms, sturdy stems, gorgeous apricot and pink colouring, I really love this one!
3 - QV Petal Power - set for release in 2026! Another prolific bloomer with extra long stems, fimbriated tips and petaloids. A perfect garden and bouquet plant. Has a head wobble but this has not been a problem for usability at all (no bloom drop, or heads pooping off!)
4 - QV Victoria - 2026 release! I love her so much I named her after myself π Ruffly pink, long tall stems, prolific blooms, darker stems and leaves that are reminisicent of a peony. Very pretty in the garden and bouquets.
5 - QV Heartbreaker - 2026 release and honestly one of the best dahlias I've ever grown. Absolutely stunning bloom, strong sturdy plant habit, great in every setting.
Will you be adding these to your top 5? π₯°
