Dahlia Double Jill

Dahlia ‘Double Jill’ is a softly coloured decorative dahlia that brings a gentle, glowing presence to summer borders. The blooms are fully double with neatly layered petals, forming a rounded flower head that feels balanced and naturally harmonious. The colour moves gradually from a warm golden yellow at the centre into creamy white and soft butter tones towards the outer petals. In warmer light, a delicate apricot blush can appear, adding quiet depth while maintaining the overall softness of the bloom.

Flowers typically measure 10–12 cm across and are held on strong, upright stems. Plants grow to around 75–90 cm tall and flower continuously from midsummer until the first frosts when regularly deadheaded. In the garden, Dahlia ‘Double Jill’ is particularly useful for blending colour schemes. It softens stronger combinations while sitting comfortably within lighter palettes of pink, peach, cream, and gentle red tones. Its rounded flower form adds structure without heaviness, making it highly adaptable in mixed plantings.

As a cut flower, it is dependable and easy to work with, offering long stems and soft colour transitions that help unify mixed arrangements and balance stronger blooms. For best results, plant tubers in spring in a sunny, well-drained position and provide support early in the season.
