Thanks

Thanks to the very many of you who replied personally, to my query
about Dahlia imperialis.  From what I have learnt, it would seem that
I have a very good chance of getting it through the coming winter in
its arborescent form as opposed to having it die down to the rather
inadequate  tubers.  This bodes well for me winning my bet! 

I have no illusions as to its merit as a flowering plant, having seen
it in flower on a couple of occasions, it strikes me as being one of
those plants that never quite lives up to its promise.  Nevertheless,
the form that I have (or could it be the growing conditions?) has
fairly short internodes creating a highly effective foliage plant.
Any flowers will be a bonus and a point proven rather than an end to
themselves.
