I know you have the same plant but it does not grow so tall and it flowers earlier (before the frost kills it), do any of your's have spectacular foliage like the tall one? I ask because I'd like one. -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W. of London UK |

Imperialis I have came from suttons seeds last year as part of an offer, very good stock though they were only 6ft till they started to throw the flower buds, since then they have put on another 2 ft. I lost a lot of the tree dahlias I was growing last year, but I think I saved a good selection; it's hard deciding to scrap a strain, so last winter did that for me as I had to save the best first. Four of my favourites are shorter, growing to only 6ft this year http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...adsunset01.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...011/newred.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...RoseSunset.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f.../Snowwhite.jpg But then I like the ones I posted yesterday, David |

In article , Sacha
writes I am really enamoured of this plant so I hope David still has it Just shows you how gardeners differ......... for me, Um . like the idea of it flowering for ages and being tall but it's a bit sort of well, like the merkii flower whereas some of David's dahlias are really wonderful flowers. I personally find that wishy washy well okay delicate pale pink to be lovely on darker foliage on other types of plants but a bit lost on the green of the dahlia foliage but of course - each to his own :) Think I know someone with mutabalis though so i will try and get him a cutting of that -- Janet Tweedy |

Do let me know when you do David, I like Dahlias but lost my "Bergers Record" (big Ferrari red cactus) which I loved and only have a small one now which has been out in a very large pot for years, can't remember the name and I'm not going out in the rain to check the label right now. -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W. of London UK |

He hasn't got B. forrrestii as well has he? If he hasn't I have :~) If that's the case, I'll have to pop down and relieve you of a piece in exchange for folding notes at some stage. There are a few Buddleias that I really like and forrestii is pretty high up on the list. I could do with a Cobaea pringlei as well and (somewhat bizarrely) Rosa Mutabilis. |
