Tree Dahlia (3) Pack of 3 tubers £19.95
The amazing Tree Dahlia (Dahlia imperialis) grows all by itself to 20 feet tall! The flowers – although beautiful – are just an added bonus. The real excitement is the super-fast-growing, dramatic foliage and thick, bamboo-like stems. They really add a lively and dramatic atmosphere to the garden. The Tree Dahlia is not really a tree of course, but a tuberous perennial, like other dahlias. This one flowers late in the year, around November and December, so the flowers may get zapped by cold weather in some areas. In winter, you can cut the plant back to the ground and new growth will shoot up in the spring. You won’t believe how fast this plant grows! The attractive stems grow to 4″ thick and are hollow like bamboo. The stems were actually used by the ancient Aztecs as pipes to carry drinking water! The giant mother of all Dahlias, reaching up to about 4m in suitable conditions before flowering, though the large, pale-pink, single flowers are produced very late, in early winter, so frost free conditions are generally needed to see them. Very hardy if mulched well, though in my experience doesn’t really need it. Huge foliage and thick stems a joy in themselves. 1-2 Weeks
