I had a post all ready in my mind as soon as the first Dahlia shoots appeared in May, green shoots being such a popular phrase ....
My very first post almost two year ago was about Dahlias. I reported then that I do not dig them up in autumn. With the borders bursting with plants it would be quite difficult. After the freezing winter we had this year, I had my doubts, but, I am happy to report there were no casualties in the garden. While I missed the green shoots, some of the Dahlias are now in full bloom.
Dahlia 'White Perfection'
This year is the first we opened for the NGS, and we had excellent response. We had a total of 330 vistors, some coming from far away such as Devon and ... Sweden. The weather was good on both weekends and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I look forward to next year's opening.
Dahlia 'Penelope'
