Dahlia 'Ian Hislop' bears orange-yellow single flowers from midsummer to late-autumn. It's perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border, especially among purple- and red-flowered plants.

For best results, grow Dahlia 'Ian Hislop' in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. Lift tubers after the first frosts and store them in a cool, dry situation until March. Then pot them up and keep them in a temperate greenhouse before planting out in late May.
