Its flaming colour really stood out in the trial beds -particularly when set against the backdrop of rich green foliage.Grows to 1.2m.
- Garden care:Dahlia tubers can be planted outsideafter frost, or started off in pots under glass in late winter to early spring.Plant them horizontally approximately 12cm (5in)deep, making sure the ‘eyes’are uppermost. Allow enough room between each tuber so the plants cangrow and spread to their full size without being overcrowded.
While in growth, provide a high-nitrogen liquid feed each weekin June, then a high-potash fertiliser each week from July to September.Stake with canes or brushwood if it becomes necessary.In mild areas, leave them in situ over winter, but protect the crownwith a generous layer of dry mulch.
In colder areas, carefully lift and clean the tubers oncethe first frosts have blackened the foliageand allow them to dry naturally indoors. Then place the dry tubers in ashallow tray, just covered with slightly moist potting compost, sand orvermiculite and store in a frost-free place until planting out again.
The warmth of this peachy-orange to vermillion red box of precious trinketsreaches the depths of late summer to early autumn with its flowery gems and isset off by the stunning dark, bronze foliage of 'Waltzing Mathilda'.
