Otway Gem | Dahlia Tuber

One of my absolute favourite workhorses of the season - bloomed it's head off, the most delicious pastel shades of lemon and blush and was fantastic in bouquets. A must have for cutting in my opinion.

HOW TO GROW DAHLIAS

• Pinch at 20cm height to encourage branching
• Cut often, the more you cut, the more they bloom!
