    I brought seeds back from a mountain side in Tamil Nadu. Dahlia Imperialis. They come well from seed, if you can get it.

    They can grow to 6m high.

  • They also grow from cuttings, stems or tubers. They make a LARGE clump. I am about to chop one out as it is pushing over the corrugated iron fence and sheds pollen over the washing line. But is is a lovely clear pink against the May(late Autumn here in NZ) sky.

    There's a list of suppliers on the RHS website.

    I noticed to-day that mine are in bud. Fingers crossed the mild weather holds on a bit longer. I'd love to post a photo of it in flower.
