Few people know that the Dahlia was originally introduced as a food crop rather than an ornamental. Dahlias are easy and cheap to grow from seed. This beautiful Dahlia mix is known for its dark purple foliage and a vibrant array of flower colours in vivid pink, coral and orange. It makes a stunning and productive cutting flower but we also like to eat the tubers which can be made into delicious rosti.

Sow February to April and germinate at 20-30C on the surface of damp peat free compost and just cover to a depth of around 5mm. Seedlings will appear in around 7-21 days. Do not exclude light at any stage, as this helps germination. Grow on in cooler, well lit conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm apart.
Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. Prefers a moist, well drained soil in full sun. Tubers may be lifted and overwintered frost free for use the following year; the perfect opportunity to remove a few for winter meals.
