Dahlia 'Mount Noddy' is a gorgeous single dahlia, bearing small, deep red flowers in contrast with dark chocolate-brown foliage. Grow it at the back of a mixed herbaceous border or on the cuttings patch – it makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results, grow Dahlia 'Mount Noddy' in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Stake plants from June. 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.
