Dwarf bushy dahlias with delightful "collarette" form, in many shades of red, yellow, orange and white all with white matching or contrasting inner collar of quilled petals. Height: 50-60cm (20-24in).
Sow 6mm (¼in) deep late winter to early spring at 21-24C (70-75F) in a good seed compost. Keep soil damp but not wet, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Germination usually takes 7-10 days.
