This dahlia I like for the garden has been pounded by rain for the last three days and held up very very well. Great long stems as well. Ruskin Michelle

Ah yes.....that "back" speaks volumes....!! The funny thing about that is I have realised that there are times when I have been following him up the M1, the name of the path (-not the Motorway- he hasn't got that many seedlings.) with my hands behind my back, just like he is. SueA if my Dad reminds you of a General I hope that that doesn't make me like Captain Darling in Blackadder.

I would definitely recommend this for the garden. Ryecroft pixie. Short grower normally but put in my top border in part shade and it has been drawn up to nearly 4 feet . No need to disbud leave all the flowers to come. Great dahlia. I would also recommend ryecroft zoe and greenways zoe. Still flowering superbly. If wanting a bigger flower I would say hillcrest candy is about the best I have grown this season in terms of size and weather performance for something more exotic looking try a fimbriated like nenekazi or Hapet perfect. Greenways zoe this morning. You get flush after flush of blooms. Only needs wing buds removed for show purposes for the garden I think a great dahlia. Can get a bit tall around 5 feet . Ryecroft zoe this morning Others I would recommend for the garden I have grown this year . Mary's jomanda, dikara superb, Weston pirate, Tom mcclelland , Hapet ideal, parkland rave , Ruskin Andrea.

I think could be a nice dahlia for the garden. Not a spectacular one but compact height and nice size flower with no disbudding. Good form and shape. Holds its flower for a good time as well. Hapet pearl

My favourite colouration this season Raymond white and strong hint although my bishop of landaff is looking very striking in vibrant red too

We love a bit of vibrant colour Cat would like to do something in red next year. If I have the space they can fade though.

I love the name of a red called "Ali Oop" just for fun!
