To plant them, dig a hole at least 20-30cm square and around 20-30cm deep for each one. Cover the base of the hole with 10cm of compost or manure and give it a good dousing with a full watering can and then plant the dahlia at a depth of 15-20cm. It will need to be lifted in winter - once the foliage dies back simply dig it up and store in a cool, frost free location.
Supplied as a bare root tuber.
