Nothing quite matches the elegance of a moonlight garden, and we've been fascinated by the idea since we first heard of Vita Sackville-West's all-white garden at Sissinghurst Castle in the U.K. (Or, more accurately, her white, green and silver garden.) Selva Floral Design created her own version of a moonlight garden especially for us, anchored by Dahlia 'L'Ancresse, a beautiful snow-white ball dahlia that grows to 4' in height. She rounded out the collection with flower arranging favorites like the frilly Snapdragon 'Madame Butterfly Ivory,' the perennial Pincushion Flower 'Fama White,' breezy Corn Cockle, and Zinnia 'Oklahoma White,' a reliable bloomer with gorgeous green-tinted centers. 'Feathertop' ornamental grass adds fluff and texture, while the charming Love in a Puff vine brings a whimsical charm (with the sweetest, heart-stamped seeds waiting to be uncovered in the puff—you'll see!).
Proceeds from the sale of this collection benefit Friends of Trees, a nationally recognized, regional leader in improving the urban tree canopy and restoring sensitive natural areas, through programs delivered by thousands of volunteers.
Available for sale as a Full Collection (containing tubers and seeds), or Seeds Only (no dahlia tubers).
The Full Collection comes wrapped in a Plover tea towel and contains:
- Dahlia 'L'Ancresse' (1 tuber)

Our Cutting Garden Collections are designed to look beautiful growing outside in your garden and inside as flower arrangements. We select our flowers based on their unique beauty, color, shape and growth habit. Each collection comes wrapped Furoshiki-style in a Plover tea towel and comes with a garden design plan and planting instructions. They are easy to plant and endlessly enjoyable.
Seeds can be planted outside after your last frost date. (Or started inside earlier for more ambitious gardeners!) Detailed instructions are provided on individual seed packets.
Dahlia tubers can be planted outside after soil temperatures have warmed to 60° F and all danger of frost has passed. Detailed planting instructions are provided and can also be found here.
