Tree Dahlia
March 9, 2010
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I have just come across an amazing Dahlia from Suttons.
This amazing plant Dahlia imperialis or Tree Dahlia can grow up to 20 foot tall in just one season.
Bought as tubers and treated like any other Dahlia they flower each year around November and December and have thick, bamboo-like stems and dramatic foliage as well as the lovely pink flowers.
If there is an early frost and the plants begin to turn black just cut it down, give it a good mulch and it will come back again next year.

Now is the time to divide your snowdrops
It is always best to plant Snowdrops “in the green”, that is; when they are still in leaf and even flower. In the green is also the best time to divide congested clumps and replant around you garden.
