Ball dahlias have double flowers in the shape of a ball, with a slightly flattened top. Petals are arranged in a spiral pattern and the tips are blunt or rounded.

Dahlia 'Jomanda' bears flowers in a lovely autumnal burnt orange colour, on long, straight stems. It's ideal for growing in the centre of a sunny, sheltered border, and makes a fantastic cut flower.

For best results, grow Dahlia 'Jomanda' 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.
