Dahlia Bilbao, 5 pcs

Dahlia Bilbao, cheerful sunny yellow, with extra large flowers. Can bloom for months, and is also very suitable as a cut flower for the vase, and certainly also suitable for planting in pots for the balcony or terrace.

Dahlias are planted in early spring, after frost. If night frost is expected after planting, it is best to cover the dahlias to keep them frost-free. Plant them about 15 cm. deep, with the thick roots downwards, such that the remainder of last year's stem is just covered with 2 to 3 cm of soil. Also give them some water immediately. They can grow in a semi-shaded spot, but they prefer a sunny spot for abundant flowering.

Dig up the tubers at the end of summer and store them in a cool, frost-free area.
