Check the lower leaves of that fairway spur...I reckon you've got spider mite. If so, cut them off carefully and try and find a spray to get rid of them. I use dynamec, but that is impossible to get hold of. This stuff I use in the greenhouse when I spot them. spraysafe
As a routine I remove all lower leaves that are near the soil...makes watering easier and less chance of splashback from soil onto leaves that can lead to other problems |

Hopefully your plants will recover from the bugs Matthew. Silver City is another name for Aberdeen (My nearest city) as most of the buildings are built from local granite |

Silver City is another name for Aberdeen (My nearest city) as most of the buildings are built from local granite They are much better now thanks. I thought it was las vegas..but Aberdeen is probably more of a hotbed of dahlia cultivation than a dry Nevada city.  |

only way to tell is to cut those lowest leaves off and look underneath them with a magnifying glass....if there is very fine webbing, and little tiny dots that move around, it's mites.

Well i can't say yes or no to the Dahlia's but there is usually a nice selection at the Aberdeen flower show |
