Dahlia 'Nescio'
 
Dahlia tubers can be planted 10cm deep in fertile well drained soil, outdoors in spring when the frost has disappeared. They prefer to be in a sunny location and spaced at approximately 45cm apart.
 
In areas where there is extreme cold, dig up dahlias and store in a cool place over the winter. Apply a high potash fertiliser every few weeks in the summer to help growth and they can be dead headed when necessary.
 
'Nescio' is a dark green-leaved cultivar to around 1m tall. It bears red pompom shaped flowerheads, in summer and early autumn.
