Dahlia wilting in full sun
I planted this tuber back
in March and its been outside for about 4wks or more.
But during the recent hot weather its been drooping in the full sun. When I moved it into the shade it picked up.
Its a speckled dahlia I bought from wilko. I've kept it well watered and I thought it was a strong, healthy plant. But I'm wondering if I could plant it out in partial shade?
Or just keep moving it around on hot days and hope it will get used to the hot full sun...?
The other dahlias planted roughly the same time are taller, bushier and lighter in colour but I can't remember the name of those. They're loving the sun but this one seems to like less sun.
