Dahlia seeds

Where best to get dahlia seeds from? I have looked at the usual suspects (Premier Seeds, Moles, DT Brown) but there seems to be a bit of a lack of seeds or lack of choice this year

 

Flower Dahlia Cactus Flowered Mix Appx 160 seeds - Annual 5060495016431 | eBay

Seekay I have used in the past, but not for dahlias.

 

Thanks - I will have a mooch. I've got some sitting in my Amazon basket from Premier Seeds Direct to be fair, so I won't be without as such, but was looking for that bit more choice (or perhaps quantity)

 

I am considering growing some ball and poms pom types myself this year from seed. Apparently they last longer as cut flowers than other types of dahlias. So will be interested in what others suggest.

 

But they are doing free delivery this weekend

 

It is very strange - I am only really finding Pompone, Bishops Children, Cactus and Dwarf Hybrids - - normally there are tons of varieties. I suppose ultimately it won't really matter too much this year as all I am looking to do is plant through fabric and have a splash of colour with only the veggie patch at the back being edibles (and maybe the odd tub)

 

Whist asking - how hard are Delphiniums from seed?

 

I would say Delphiniums are fairly easy, I have grown a mixed selection. They will take 2 years to flower though, but they keep coming up each year and are pretty much trouble free.
