Anyone bought any wilc0 dahlias this year?

[Guest]

Sorry NF I must disagree with you about it being a bit late as I have just set up my dahlia tubes last week and though they are throwing shoots they will not be planted out till June, hopefully the second week, but really I could have waited a couple of weeks yet before setting them up if you buy tubers now I reckon they will catch up by June/July.

No need to be sorry, I just thought it might be difficult to buy them as I have had a couple of e-mails where companies had sold them off on the cheap just a short while ago. If you have the tubers as long as they are firm there should be no issues on the planting side.

^^^^ my mistake, but shows the difference from area to area, there are still a good selection in shops and GC. up here, but we are about six weeks later than the south

I brought 2 from Sarah Raven and they are doing really well, she has 50% off them at the moment
