Hi, good to see you are MSE'rs as well as UKEX'ers
I got some form Wilko's a bit late in the season having spent some time working in the US.
They are just coming into flower now.
One day i will get the imperialis to flower....one day....
Incidentally did you see Mr Tichmarsh planted one in his new show a few episodes back ?
Another eden is looking great by the way :T0 -

Havent had D imperialis flower yet, but we did manage one flower on D excelsa late last year, just before the frosts hit in November!0 -
I Love Dahlias and they grow very well herein the North of Scotland, I grow them from seed and sometimes get the tubers - the seed always grows well. I used to leave them in the ground over winter but have now moved to a clay soil so will be lifting them
I love your pictures they are Great0 -
I have some epic Dahlias this year, will post up some snaps later
Yours look great! 0 -
