    Yeah i thought that too. I first saw the plant in Jo Thompson's garden at RHS Chatsworth and it was definitely a single. Great Little Garden have got back to me and said that it is a double flower which is weird because when you go to the official webpage for the Mystic Dahlia series http://www.mysticdahlia.com/ they are all single flowered!

    Hmm, maybe they're cashing in on its popularity and selling something similar under the same name!  For under a tenner is it worth a go, the colour appears to match if not the number of petals?

    I understand Bob, but it will niggle at me if it's not the same as the ones i saw at Chatsworth and the one i already have. I'll just have to try and be patient image

    I had a word with my local garden centre and they are ordering me a couple of plants. They should come in later this week for me to look at!

    A stunning combination Tom - well worth all the searching.
    They must almost glow at dusk - beautiful

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Give it a couple of years Tom and you'll have so many tubers you could fill the garden with them :)

  • Hi Tom :-) Just found your thread about the elusive Mystic Fantasy. Unfortunately, I lost my plant a couple of years ago and have not been able to find a replacement ever since. So, if you have taken seed from your beautiful plants this year, would you consider selling some to me, please? Look forward to hearing from you.

  • Hi ... Mystic Fantasy appears to be available from the online shop at the National Dahlia Collection in Cornwall https://nationaldahliacollection.co.uk/shop/mystic-fantasy.html
