RE: tree dahlia?

It flowers autumn – late autumn so needs water all summer to build up to flowering. Not much point if it looks ratty thru dryness and produces few or no flowers.

I'm not sure about the water needs, but I had trouble with snails and wind and a squirrel.

I have been offered a tree dahlia from a friend's garden. I've never grown them before so I looked them up and they appear to be rather thirsty plants but I may still give it a try.

 

Any words of experience or advice?
