DAHLIA - DAHLIETTA SURPRISE 'DEMI'

I had a wonderful 'surprise' when I saw these on display at the RHS shop in Harlow Carr. I liked the Dahlietta Surprise 'Demi' plants so much that I immediately bought four and have them on display in an outside trough under my living room window. They are delightful and those four have nicely filled the entire trough without growing too wide or too tall. Perfect.  The trough gets full afternoon sun right through to sundown. I dead head them every day and the flowers just keep on coming! Take a look. 

Dahlietta Surprise 'Demi'

The label describes Dahlietta Surprise 'Demi' as a perennial which is 25cm high by 20cm spread (10 x 8 inches). They like full sun or partial shade and a moist but well-drained soil. I have had no problems with them by way of pests or diseases.
