Dahlia (Pooh)

Vibrant colours.  Collarette variety.  Flowers all summer long.  Height 90cm / 36".  Plant from March onwards 15cm / 6in deep and 60cm / 36in apart.  Dahlias like any well-cultivated garden soil with a good supply of organic material in sunny sites away from strong winds.  Ideal for borders or as bedding plants.  Good for cut flowers.  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 danger of frost has passed, plant out the sprouted tubers.  If used as a cut flower, cut the flowers only when completely developed.
