Dahlia query.

[mc1970]

Hello,

I was looking this year for single flower dwarf dahlia seeds but most importantly "Non mixed". I don't seem to be able to source these anywhere.

Has anyone come across anywhere that sells them? You seem to only ever get mixed and my last pack produced around 90% yellow..

Many thanks...

Single dahlia are Coltness hybrids but I have never seen the seeds sold in a single colour. You could keep the tubers from the best plants and in the colours you like and take cuttings next year or split the tubers when they start shooting.

Hope that helps

That's what I'm doing. The dahlias from seed grow really well, but I always end up with the wrong colour in my beds: nothing makes me crosser than seeing a plant grow really really well, then turn out to be pink
