Choose a sunny position in moist, well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well-rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost-free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June. Feed and water dahlias regularly throughout the growing season. While dahlia plants are still young, pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage bushier growth and masses of flowers. Deadhead faded dahlia flowers to encourage more blooms. Bedding dahlias are generally grown as annuals; dahlia tubers may be lifted in autumn and stored over winter in trays of peat or sand, in a cool but frost-free position if required. They can be potted up the following spring. Product Specifications: Half-Hardy Perennial. Position: Borders. Height: Up to 120cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 60cm when fully established.
