Dahlia Laughing Lizzy

Bring a splash of cheerful colour to your Cornwall garden this summer with the Dahlia Laughing Lizzy. This delightful decorative dahlia produces charming, small blooms that pack a big punch, perfect for adding vibrancy to borders or containers. Growing to a manageable height of 50-70cm, Laughing Lizzy is ideal for the front to middle of your flower beds, creating a beautiful layered effect with its prolific flowering habit. Its tubers may be small, but they are perfectly suited to the UK’s growing conditions, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun — common requirements in Cornwall’s mild, coastal climate.

For best results, plant the tubers after the last frost in spring, about 10-15cm deep, and space them 30-40cm apart to give them room to flourish. Regular watering and deadheading spent blooms will encourage continuous flowering throughout the summer months. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a keen beginner, the Dahlia Laughing Lizzy offers an easy-to-grow, rewarding addition to your garden. Embrace the sunny days with these joyful blooms and enjoy a vibrant display that will brighten up any outdoor space from June right through to the first autumn frosts.
