A Regal Purple Masterpiece for the Garden

Pre-order for dispatch end of February 2026.

The Dahlia 'Le Baron' is a magnificent decorative variety that brings a touch of royalty to any garden setting. Renowned for its intense, deep magenta-purple blooms, this dahlia creates a dramatic focal point in summer borders. The flowers are fully double with slightly pointed, ruffled petals that add wonderful texture and depth. As the sunlight catches the velvety petals, they seem to glow with vibrant violet hues.

Standing tall on sturdy stems, 'Le Baron' is an exceptional choice for cutting. It produces an abundance of blooms from mid-summer right through to the first frosts, ensuring you have plenty of flowers to fill your vases. Whether planted in a cottage garden scheme or used to add bold colour to a modern container display, this reliable performer delivers elegance and impact in equal measure.
