Quite probably the daddy of all Dahlias,  Dahlia Campanulata very large flaming orange eyed, pale lavender flowers, up to 20cm. across, hang from blooming panicle up to one metre across. Native to high forests in Mexico, it is accustomed to cool days and mild nights. Growing up to 3 m tall, as with other Dahlias it will need support and a sheltered spot in UK gardens. Dahlia Campanulata is relatively late-flowering, from September onwards  After flowering the stems may be cut down to ground level and the plant will grow again the following season.

Germination Guide (UK)

• Sow seeds indoors in late winter / early spring
• Soak seeds for a few hours in room temperature water 
• Prepare a seeds tray of sieved, well-draining soil mix - ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite (which I sell in the Accessories section of my eBay shop) 
• Potting mix should be moist but not wet
• Sow the seeds individually on the surface and gently press onto soil to ensure a good contact.
• Lightly cover with a thin layer of sand or vermiculite.
• Place tray in a warm location - ideally 20-25c. 
• Seedlings should appear in 4-6 weeks but some can take longer
• Keep soil moist but not wet - best to water from the bottom by having tray inside another water tight tray.
• Pot on as required.
• After risk of frost has well passed, plant out in a warm, sheltered location or use as large pot specimens for greenhouse or conservatory..
