Growing Garden Wonder Dahlias

This versatile dahlia grows happily in large pots and is compact enough for any terrace, patio, decking or balcony.

All dahlias do best in deep rich soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. If it is windy they will need staking. They are greedy, thirsty plants so will need watering in dry spells, and they will always flower that little bit better if there is a bit of soluble food in the watering can once every couple of weeks.

Despite the size of the plants and the large flowers, it has incredibly stout stems, so doesn't need as heavy staking as many other varieties do, although some support in windy areas will still be needed.

It is generally more convenient to put support stakes in at planting time, rather than leaving it until there is foliage in the way.

Planting Companions for Garden Wonder

Its vivid red colour will sit perfectly in a hot, exotic planting scheme, along with orange and yellow flowers and deep-coloured leaves.

A mainstay of late mixed border displays, plant alongside end-of-season bloomers like Echinacea and Rudbeckia for a great show.
