Dahlia 'Fancy Pants' - Tuber Clump

A delightful collarette-style dahlia with star-shaped blooms in soft pink, cream and raspberry tones surrounding a warm golden centre. ‘Fancy Pants’ brings a light, cheerful feel to the garden and is a favourite for pollinators as well as cut flowers.

Unlike many large decorative dahlias, Fancy Pants has a relaxed cottage-garden character that mixes beautifully with perennials and grasses. The flowers continue from mid-summer until the first frosts with regular picking or deadheading.

This listing is for one field-grown tuber clump, freshly divided from plants grown here at Oasis Cottage in Oxford, Canterbury.

"Fancy Pants is one of those dahlias that always makes visitors stop for a closer look. Its unusual starry blooms dance above the foliage and pair beautifully with salvias, gaura and ornamental grasses. I particularly like using it in relaxed cottage-style bouquets where its distinctive form adds movement and personality."
