Hi Everyone, I am UK based and this will be my first year growing dahlias. I have decided that I would like to grow dinnerplate dahlias and have been doing my research on varieties. I have made a list so far of all the dinnerplate varieties that I have discovered and really like. I just wondered if anyone knows of any other varieties I might be missing off my list, or if there are any varieties that have slipped on my dinnerplate list, which should not really be there! The list is as follows:

If you got this far, first off, thank you! Secondly I look forward to discovering any other dinner plate dahlias not on my list! Then just to try and figure out if I can afford any of them on my sick pay! 😅

Thanks, Ed
