they were a packet of ixed border ones. I'll use them as anuals and if there are any I really like I will lift and hopefully overwinter them. mind you non of the good tubers survived the winter

Do you think that you'll be able to over-winter them in the conservatory this year - or does that get too cold too?

I potted on 5 dahlias (grown from seed) yesterday...gave away another 5 still in the pot they germinated in. Chiltern Seeds 'Boshop of Llandaff' (I know they're prolly just red Bishop's Children really) Good, healthy little plants they are.

I have a couple of Collarette dahlias in pots, i placed them in the greenhouse for winter, i did not cut the old stems off. Today i noticed a couple of seed heads still on them. found a few seeds not many so i have sown them. I am a month early, will sow my main batch around the 3rd week in March.
