    [​IMG] Hi brazil, It is a plant from central America so I wouldn't have thought it was hardy. Try googling there are allot of sites with info on it & some are uk. Wonderful plant, will be interested to know how you get on. Best of luck. [​IMG]

    Brazil, When I was at Wisley garden a few weeks ago I think they had it bedded out in the borders.
    Dont know but presume you treat it like any other Dhalia.

    Sounds good, especially this time of the year. Have a look up near the greenhouses in the tropical borders, where the bananas and cannas are, I think that where I saw the Dahalias.
