The Dahlia ‘Summer Bees Purple Bicolour’ is part of the specially bred Summer Bees series, a collection of compact, floriferous dahlias designed to attract and support garden wildlife, especially pollinators. Each bloom features a classic open-centre form with vivid purple-pink petals surrounding a bright golden-yellow disc, making it easy for bees and butterflies to access nectar and pollen. These bold colours and daisy-like shapes are scientifically proven to attract a wide variety of beneficial insects.
This dahlia is supplied in a 3.2-litre recyclable pot, ensuring it is well-established and garden-ready on arrival. It has been cultivated with care in British nurseries, promoting strong roots and lush growth. The compact habit (reaching about 60cm tall) makes it perfect for pots, balcony containers, or as front-of-border colour in mixed beds. Despite its modest size, this plant puts on a dramatic display from July through to the first frost.
