Presenter: Bonnie-Marie Hibbs
Air Date: 16th September 2023

Bonnie tells the story of a Dahlia, from planting, picking, packing and getting to your home to be able to plant it. Grow your own with our Plant Deal of the Week.

• Dahlias are one of the most popular cut flowers and have become a huge obsession with many gardeners. Each season the team at Garden Express dedicate endless fields to the production of growing Dahlias on their farm, with teams of experts planting, picking, dividing, cleaning and packing the tubers ready for you to plant into your garden.
• With nine different varieties to play with, all ranging in different colours, fors and heights, you can create your own mini cut flower garden at home.
• To plant, dig a hole a little deeper than the tuber, with the neck towards the sky and fill with soil. Avoid watering the area until your shoots are roughly 2-3 inches in height. Give them a feed with an all purpose fetiliser and a layer of mulch around the base in preparation for the summer.
• With a saving of 40%, create your own dahlia haven with this collection from Garden Express.
