Plant of the Day
Tuesday 1 October 2019
The ideal tender perennials for an autumn display are the plant group known as the ‘Decorative Dahlias’ which have fully double flowerheads with flat or slightly incurved florets. A cultivar from this group includes the compact, herbaceous perennial Dahlia 'Crème de Cassis' with pale lilac petals with purple backs. The root tubers of these plants will need to be lifted and stored over the winter in a dark, cool, frost-free building.
