Capable of producing blooms up to 15 inches wide (40cm) when correctly stopped, this is a true large decorative Dahlia. It has lavender pink flowers with a creamy white base. If grown for normal garden use rather than the show bench the flowers will be smaller but more numerous. Named after the famous English football manager Sir Alf Ramsey, who managed the national team to their 1966 World Cup victory.
