do you know the names? The second one down is almost like a marigold...
hello
They are, from top to bottom:
(should be) Crème de Cognac (Although it doesn't look like it!)
Procyon with smaller Fancy Pants)
don't know (this was a small one I bought in a pot from B&Q at the end of the season a few years ago and nurtured back to life. It's overwintered twice without help.)
Fancy Pants
Show 'n' Tell
don't know (bought 3 years ago and label lost in year 1)
Ditto and I am not sure it came true so hard to identify
Fireworks
Blue Boy, I think... (could ee Thomas Edison. The colour in the photo is not quite accurate and they are similar.)
Akita
Babylon Bronze
Fireworks ( I think...)
Totally tangerine I also grew Vancouver, mambo and sunset shades
They are all in pots. Procyon was from last year and overwintered in a bubblewrapped pot, as were the second two unknowns. I am now going to have to decide whether to de-pot or bubblewrap. The latter strategy doesn't always work. A couple from last year didn't make it.
Thanks. I have a vague memory of it not coming out as I expected when I first had it, but this is how it is every year. I find that dahlias quite often don't come out quite as it suggests they should on the 'packet'!
@REMF33 it could be ‘Mary Evelyn’ (sometimes spelled ‘Mary Eveline’)
Fantastic dahlias all!
@celcius_kkw and anyone else, do you think Cornel would be ok grown in a large pot (29 litres)? Or perhaps Gypsy Night would be better suited? I’m after a red/dark red pompom dahlia for next year but only have room for one in a pot.
