I briefly worked with Barry Champion at Trellisick Gardens. Magical time. Beautiful gardens help make life more bearable.

Excellent clear guide but omitted to tell us to LABEL THE NAME OF THE DAHLIA before storing for the winter

If it gets really cold, an unheated green house or shed may well not be frost free
