Plants for harriet

[Jimny14]

I'm looking around for plants which we can give to our parents in the near future and thought about plants with our new daughters name. She's called Harriet and so far I've found a dahlia which although lovely may be a little tender for these parts. Any other suggestions greatly received.

This Czech variety is probably not quite what you want

The RHS plant finder comes up with 16 possibilities, including two dahlias. One of them might be the one you found already. https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/Search...?query=Harriet

I think dahlias are only half hardy in most parts of Britain. They should do fine in Lancaster as long as they don't forget to dig up the tubers and store them somewhere frost-free over winter. I inherited some dahlias from the previous owner of my house, but one winter I forgot to dig them up, and that was the end of them

Thanks zelenina was trying to search that earlier but it wasn't working. Thanks for the help.

Have you thought of changing your daughter's name to Daisy or Rose??
I'm struggling with Harriett for a plant name.

Thanks VC, unfortunately she's registered now so it would cost to change it so that's not happening (I'm a tight Yorkshire man after all)

I came across another another Czech Harriet. This time it's a chilli pepper.

Not exactly what I had in mind but so far looks like I could do some nice spicy pickled gherkins for the baby.
