I do not grow it myself, but if you have 5 blooms of it on the 2nd September, take them to the North West Dahlia Society show, Les Jackson is paying a tenner for the best vase of 5.

Hi Rob I have four of them. So far a very squat plant. Starting to stretch up now and the first signs of buds forming on one of them. Who knows how it will do . I shall let you know when it flowers. One plant looked a bit virused but it seems to be growing out of it.

Will grow 2 8up and 2 7up.

ian you asked about Jersie. Here are my plants in 25 litre pots. I have 4 of them 3 grown 7up one 8up I have taken wings and 2 pairs down I might take another pair as bud looks small also take a bit of basal growth off on Monday. Initially was very very squat if in the ground would have been a bad back! Haha One after it was stopped looked viral I almost lifted it but is moving and looking a lot healthier now. I stopped it the same time as candy. Stretching up now. Soom blooms might make it to Kent on 6th September if any good.

The first pic was the tiniest topped cutting potted up beginning of June in a thimble size pot. The squat one is in between the two bigger ones. I know Peter tates flowered and he was not overly impressed.

ian Top Member May all you Dahlia blooms have stiff stems Posts: 848	hillcrest jersie Aug 15, 2015 7:31:26 GMT Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top Post by ian on Aug 15, 2015 7:31:26 GMT Well Raymond unfortunately that plant looks OK ah well never mind.
