Use Red Pygmy Dahlias at the front of dahlia beds to heighten the layered effect. They're great for low borders along walks, and they can fill a bed for an impressive mass of color. Excellent cut flowers and suitable for pots and containers too!

This plant is supplied as a single bare root tuber.
Best time to plant is in April. To plant them, dig a hole at least 20-30cm square and around 20-30cm deep for each one. Cover the base of the hole with 10cms of compost, or manure and give it a good dousing with a full watering can and then plant the dahlia at a depth of 15cms. Plant in a sunny spot and keep moist yet well-drained. It will need to be lifted in winter - once the foliage dies back simply dig it up and store in a cool, frost free location.
