Last spring I was given some Dhalia tubers . I had never tried them before. However, the tubers I was given turned out to to be some very blowsy gaudy orange flowers with heads the size of small tea plate.
I might go and try some more gentle and discrete Dahlias. Possible the "Bishop of". range. In the season.
Ha @Iamweedy rooting through the shed this year I found a tub of random bulbs and tubers. Clearing out a bed, I planted the lot, and got three dahlias, a lovely white, a pale yellow and a blowsy pink and orange monstrosity which survived Lorenzo. Will be relocated somewhere out of sight next year!
I think yellows and oranges would look good with it - especially late summer/early autumn. Daisy type plants - heleniums etc, and things like crocosmias. Whites too - like echinaceas.
The only thing i'd say is - I seem to remember that site being shown to be a bit poor, but don't quote me on that. If I could find that thread about the Good Guys - it may have been on that...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
