Dahlia (Arabian Night)

Very popular variety.  Decorative flowers.  Flowers all summer long.  Height 100cm / 40".  Plant from March onwards 15cm / 6in deep and 60cm / 24in apart.  Dahlias like any well-cultivated garden soil with a good supply of organic material in a sunny site away from strong winds.  Keep the plants well watered during growth.  Either lift the tubers after flowering and store frost free in dry compost or, particularly in warmer areas, cover with a mulch over winter.  For early flowering, tubers may be started off in boxes in April; use a light soil mixed with compost.  Keep slightly moist, cool and free from frost.  When risk of frost has passed, plant out the sprouted tubers.  If used as a cut flower, cut flowers only when completely developed.
