Dahlias can be a little overwhelming at times. I prefer to stick to single blooms, such as this ‘Bishop of Auckland’ and ‘Happy Single Date’. The latter may have a rather off-putting name, but both have gorgeous dark petals, and will continue flowering well into autumn.
When the frosts hit, lift the tubers and store somewhere dry frost-free over winter until the earth wakes up again.
