Dahlia 'Yankee Doodle Dandy Mix' Seeds
Add a vibrant, celebratory splash of colour to your summer borders with 'Yankee Doodle Dandy Mix'. This stunning seed-grown dahlia blend produces an array of flowers in a dazzling range of patriotic reds, whites, and blues. They are fantastic for filling pots and providing armfuls of cheerful blooms for cutting.
A lovely compact and bushy dahlia. It has a central ring of short petals surrounded by an outer ring of longer petals in a contrasting colour. Because they are a fairly compact plant ( they will grow up to 60cm) they are great for the front of a border or to grow in pots on the patio.Â
A star of the summer cutting patch! See our full Cutting Garden Seeds collection and Annual Flower Seeds collection.  Plan ahead: Remember to sow this in spring - see our Seeds to Sow in March and Seeds to Sow in April guides!
