I bought a whole bunch of plug plants and tubers in Spring, all for a clients cutting garden. I grew the plant on until they were 2/3Litre pot size. The plants were all good, strong and sturdy and I only have two that died off in around 275 plants. I was dissappointed with the dahlias though as the not all came true as per the label. I certainly didnt get the Labyrinth that I ordered.

My absolute favourites - I grow them every year and they reliably flower their socks off for ages and ages. I wouldn’t say they were as quite tall as the description, but perhaps that’s just because I pinch them out so much when they’re young so that they grow to be really bushy and have more flower heads.
