Good partners for the Giant Cactus dahlias
By Peter Humphrey 15-08-2011
These seeds have been as big a success as the Giant Cactus Dahlias. In fact here we are in August and I have one or two big surprises. These were 100% germination and fast growers,thankfully May was warm and frost free so I managed to plant these out earlier than usual. The garden has been a really colourful bonanza this year . I have just discovered a lovely purple dahlia from this batch six foot tall.I kid you not. I am 6' 4" tall and we look each other in the eye. I hope these seeds will be available next year.
