A stunning Water-lily Dahlia, 'Christopher Taylor' produces luscious cherry-red flowerheads that contrast beautifully with its mid-green leafy foliage. It stole the show on our RHS Chelsea 2014 stand, its luminosity and depth of colour stopping people in their tracks.
This strong-growing plant delivers long-lasting cut flowers and will add panache to many styles of planting from informal cottage to urban courtyard. It thrives in full sun in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. In colder areas, lift, dry, and store tubers frost-free once autumn frosts begin. In milder areas, tubers can be left in the ground with the crown protected by a mulch.
H3 — hardy in coastal and relatively mild parts of the UK (-5°C to -10°C).
Height × Spread: 120cm × 70cm
