Dahlias

From July to well into the autumn the lower terraces of the Walled Garden are awash with colour.  A mainstay are the many dahlias that ensure continuity as other perennials reach peaks before fading into the background.  Half hardy, some are lifted for the winter and the tubers replanted in spring.  Some overwinter in the ground under a cosy blanket of mulch.  Some need staking, all need regular deadheading, but the results speak for themselves.
