Since its introduction in 2021, Dahlia 'Jennifer Mary Ellen' has fast become a firm favourite for its sumptuous, showy flowers and sultry dark bronze foliage. Its double, waterlily-form flowers are rich plum red with deep purple undersides and centres, giving them an intense, two-tone look. To see the dark and alluring Dahlia 'Jennifer Mary Ellen' truly pop, mix it with brighter colours from a similarly strong, jewel-like palette. Think vivid oranges and reds such as the pompom Dahlia 'Cornel Brons' and the single Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff', with the brilliant purple of Verbena bonariensis thrown in for a striking contrast. Not a pastel in sight! Plant Dahlia 'Jennifer Mary Ellen' in groups of five or more for greatest visual impact. Dahlias are half-hardy and in most UK winters will need some form of protection from the cold and wet. Many gardeners lift and store the tubers in a frost-free environment, while others prefer to leave them in the ground with a thick layer of insulating mulch.
