The flowers dance above a neat mound of purplish-black foliage making a classy colour combination which looks equally gorgeous in a border or container. Height: 75cm (30in). Spread: 50cm (20in).

Dahlia ‘Waltzing Mathilda’ bears elegant blooms composed of slightly twirling petals in a sophisticated coral pink Plant Dahlia tubers outdoors in April after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in moist well drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost. Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6″) and water well. Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost free greenhouse. Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in June.
