Join us for a combined Library Talk and Garden Walk: Delightful Dahlias. The Library talk will be led by one of the Library staff and the Garden Walk will be led by one of the RHS Horticulturalists.

Delightful Dahlias

Dahlias come in an amazing range of shapes and colours. There are more than 63,000 different cultivated varieties in the RHS Dahlia Register.

No flower has had more ups and downs in popularity. Although today it is a staple garden plant for late season colour, the dahlia was out of favour with the trendsetters in garden design for decades.

After finding out more about Dahlias within the Library collection, you have the opportunity to find out more about the current Dahlia trials happening at Wisley.
