At 90–120cm tall, 'Waterlily Flowered Yelno Harmony' looks great planted in borders, as a centrepiece in mixed beds, or in containers where its eye-catching shape and colour really pop. It grows best in full light, which brings out the colour of its yellow petals, and it needs rich, well-drained soil.

Supplied as tubers, the best time to plant is in April and May. 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 15-20cms. You will need a stout stake, not just a bamboo cane, to support each plant and it is a good idea to knock this in first and then place the plant by its side. 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.
