You will rarely come across a plant as colourful and sunny as the Dahlia. The Dahlia is an easy to grow plant that will rarely let you down. The growth power and richness of blooms of this flower bulb are simply astonishing.

To achieve great success with the dahlia, you only need to consider three things:

• The dahlia loves the sun
• The dahlia cannot withstand frost
• The dahlia drinks a lot of water

If you force the dahlia into pots and plant them in the garden after the danger of night frost has passed, they will flower considerably earlier and you will enjoy them for even longer.
