A little beauty with a moody twist! Wine Eyed Jill Yellow is a gorgeous sport of the much-loved Wine Eyed Jill, bringing all the charm of the original into a warmer, yellow colour palette. Its perfectly formed ball blooms are made up of tightly packed honeycomb petals in buttery cream, custard yellow and soft gold, finished with a deep wine-red centre.
The contrast between the warm golden petals and that rich burgundy heart makes this one seriously special. With long, strong stems and an abundance of blooms, Wine Eyed Jill Yellow is not only beautiful but an absolute workhorse in the cutting garden.
Flower Size: Approximately 7–8cm (3") ball blooms
Form: Ball type, with tightly packed, neatly structured honeycomb petals
Colour: Custard yellow, buttery cream and soft golden tones with occasional cranberry edging, surrounding a deep wine-red to burgundy centre
Flowering Season: Mid-summer through to late autumn (Jan–May)
Use: An exceptional cut flower for bouquets, floral arrangements and the cutting garden
Planting Time: September–November, once the risk of frost has passed
Light: Full sun – at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering
Height: Grows approximately 100–140cm tall – staking is recommended to support the tall plants and abundant blooms
Spacing: 30–45cm between plants
Soil: Rich, fertile, well-drained soil – dahlias dislike sitting in water
Watering: Keep evenly moist, especially during dry spells
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continued flowering
Beautifully structured ball blooms with that classic, perfectly formed dahlia look
The golden-yellow and creamy petals paired with a deep wine centre create an incredibly striking contrast
A prolific variety with long, strong stems, making it a fantastic choice for florists and home cutting gardens
Smaller blooms make it incredibly versatile in bouquets, where it adds both colour and beautiful form
A gorgeous warm-toned addition to the garden that works beautifully alongside blush, peach, cream and burgundy flowers
A little bit unusual and very, very pretty!
Each of our dahlia tubers is carefully hand-selected and inspected to meet our quality standards. We check for:
A healthy body
A strong neck
At least one visible eye ready to grow
Only when we’re confident it’s ready for your garden do we pack it up and send it on its way.
Please keep in mind that tubers naturally vary in size, shape, colour, and texture. Some may arrive looking a little small or slightly shrivelled — and that’s totally normal! As long as it has a good neck and an eye, it has everything it needs to grow beautifully. We only send tubers we’d be happy to plant ourselves.
Once your tubers arrive, they’ll need a little care until it’s time to plant. Keep them in the box with the wood shavings in a cool, dry place until planting time. In New Zealand, this is usually around Labour Day weekend, once the risk of frost has passed — but conditions vary, so be sure to consider your local climate and soil.
Our tubers come from healthy, disease-free beds and are divided with sanitised tools to keep them that way. While we do everything we can to ensure they’re in top shape when they leave us, we recommend planting them in pots for their first season so you can monitor them closely. Once they’re in your care, we can’t control outside factors like soil conditions, pests or cross-contamination from tool use.
Please open your package as soon as it arrives and check everything over. If you have any concerns, contact us within 24 hours, including clear photos, so we can help. If something’s not quite right, we’ll do our best to replace the tuber or offer a refund if we don’t have a suitable replacement.
Because tubers are living things, we’re unable to accept returns or offer refunds due to change of mind. Once the tubers leave our hands, we can’t guarantee how they’re stored or whether they’ve been exposed to garden conditions that might affect their health.
We take every care to ensure your tubers are correctly labelled - but because this is a hands-on, seasonal process, and a house move at the end of last season, we have taken every car to ensure every tuber has been labelled correctly (you can find lucky dip dahlis for any we are unsure about), However the occasional mix-up can happen. If this small risk isn’t something you’re comfortable with, we completely understand and kindly ask that you don’t proceed with your purchase.
Please ensure you select the correct flat rate shipping option for your delivery destination. Incorrect postage and handling means we have to follow up which in turn means your delivery will be delayed. Please bare with us as we work though all orders.
