Planting and Growing Dahlia Tubers

I remember as a child going to my grandfather's allotment and being fascinated by the large colourful blousy flowers he grew there every year and I have loved dahlias ever since. That is probably the traditional image most of us have of dahlias, a flower of the vegetable garden. However, in recent years the dahlia has reached new heights of popularity, being used in award winning garden designs and becoming very much the choice of the gardener to include in the summer garden. Dahlias really are super stars, not only do they come in seemingly endless colours and shapes, they will keep on flowering well into the autumn until the first frosts. Here is a short guide on how to grow and keep them and a few of my favourite varieties.
