Piccolo Lemon is a very free-flowering lemon-yellow. When the flowers are fully open, they look semi-double, but they have so many flowers that they look to be mixed single and double. Lovely compact plants, making them perfect for small gardens and pots.

Dahlias should not be planted outside till the risk of frost has passed; both cutting and garden-ready plants need frost protection.

Supplied as rooted cuttings in 4cm plugs

From April, Garden-ready plants will be available at the nursery or shows. not mail order.
