Gardenwise | Dahlias – stars of The Late Late Show

image preview

I always wish at this time of year that I grew more dahlias. Older gardens have the most glorious clumps of them, often supported by canes and string, and in such large groups that you can tell they’ve been growing happily there for decades.

They must be one of the most impressive climbing plants, with glorious blooms in a beautiful range of shades, but there’s no denying clematis can be tricky. Winter and spring types can mostly take care of themselves, but summer flowering clematis fall into several different categories, all needing pruning, and if you prune at the wrong time of year, you could lose a year’s flowers. It’s this kind of calendar-watching that puts lots of people off gardening, so my rule of thumb is always to keep it simple and choose things that don’t need to be mollycoddled.
