Clocks Go Forward This Weekend.. Which means more time for Gardening !! 😊

Longer evenings are nearly upon us. With the clocks going forward this weekend, the evenings will be lighter for longer for us to potter in the garden.

This time of year is is one of our favourites as we get to enjoy the delights of Spring Flowering Bulbs and then start to plan what comes next.

And if you are looking to add a pop of colour to your garden for the Summer months Dahlias are the perfect choice! With their vibrant hues and intricate petal formations, these flowers are sure to brighten up any outdoor space. And the best part? There is still plenty of time to plant Dahlias this season. Dahlias are incredibly versatile plants that can thrive in various settings. Whether you plant them in borders, beds mixed with other flowers, or in a dedicated display, dahlias are sure to add colour and elegance to your garden.

There are thousands of different types of dahlias…. and each one grows its tubers a little differently. There is a huge amount of variety in shape and size! Remember, as long as the tuber has an eye, it will grow.

One of the standout features of dahlias is their suitability as cut flowers. With a fantastically long vase life, dahlias make stunning floral arrangements that can brighten up any room. Additionally, when you cut dahlias for arrangements, new blooms will quickly replace the ones you've removed.

Dahlias are fantastic bee-friendly flowers, making them a great choice for anyone looking to create a pollinator-friendly garden.

With their extended flowering season it means you can enjoy a burst of colour from summer well into autumn.
