Dahlias - Part 3: Staking and picking
The Land Gardeners are in France in September, dealing with the challenge of staking their favourite dahlia variety, ‘Otto’s Thrill’, with bamboo canes and string. Also included are tips on prolonging dahlias’ flowering time well into the autumn, as well as when and how to pick the blooms to create the longest stems possible.
