Description

From the breeding patch, ready for your garden

These clumps come from our breeding patch — a space in the field where seedlings, experimental crosses, and unlabelled plants have been grown, observed, and selected over the season.

Unlike our named varieties, these are not sold by identified cultivar or known colour.
Each clump is chosen as a lucky packet selection, which means the flower colours, forms, and combinations are a surprise.

That is part of the magic.

Each dahlia clump is a mature root system made up of multiple tubers that have grown together over the season. You’re not starting from scratch — you’re planting something already established, vigorous, and full of potential.

What You Can Expect

– A mature dahlia clump with multiple tubers
– Strong, established growth for the coming season
– The opportunity to divide into several plants if you wish
– Or plant as is for a fuller start

And, with these breeding patch clumps:

– Colour is unknown
– Flower form is unknown
– Varieties are not named or labelled
– Every clump is a surprise selection from the patch

No two lucky packets may be alike.

From Our Breeding Patch to Yours

These clumps are lifted directly from our breeding rows at the end of the season.

Some may carry extraordinary colour combinations.
Some may be soft and subtle.
Some may become future favourites.

But they are chosen without guarantees of colour, type, or specific variety.

If you are looking for a particular bloom, our named clumps are the better choice.

If you love discovery — these are for you.

A Few Notes

– Supplied as freshly lifted clumps (lightly cleaned)
– Size and number of tubers will vary naturally
– Best planted or divided in the coming growing season
– Store in a cool, dry place if not planting immediately, with compost covering tubers completely

Why Choose a Lucky Packet Clump?

If you’re looking to:

– Grow something unexpected
– Explore the beauty of chance in the garden
– Multiply plants generously at a lower entry point
– Or enjoy the excitement of not knowing what may emerge…

A breeding patch clump can be one of the most rewarding ways to grow.

A Little From Us

These are the dahlias we’ve lived with all season, and letting them go is always a little bittersweet.

The breeding patch especially carries a spirit of possibility.

We hope the surprise that unfolds in your garden brings you as much joy as it has brought us.
