Revisiting this - Star Child overwintered in it's pot in my garage - this morning I've taken it out of the pot and repotted it in fresh compost and a bigger pot - it's made some lovely large firm plump tubers.
I've also bought 3 Honka-type dahlia tubers to grow in pots to keep it company and provide flowers for cutting
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Love the Honka series, very different flowers from most Dahlias. They had a lovely collection at the Garden House in Devon, when I visited a few years ago.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I've put mine straight into some of the pots I usually use for tomatoes - I'm determined not to grow quite so many tomatoes this year so I'm filling the pots up with other things - and they're in a sheltered spot on the terrace
