Ivanetti Dahlia Tuber

A rich, velvety dahlia in the deepest shades of burgundy, wine and dark plum. Ivanetti has beautifully neat, rounded blooms made up of tightly layered petals, giving it that lovely almost sculptural ball shape.

It's one of those varieties that adds instant depth to the garden and looks especially beautiful alongside blush, apricot, cream and softer pink dahlias. Strong, tall stems also make it a wonderful flower for cutting — perfect when you want to add something a little moodier to a bunch.

• Flower type: Ball dahlia
