    I'm not sure if anyone can tell you what type of Dahlia it is by the leaves, Adam, but Dahlias can grow in height between 16 to 36 inches.:coffee::snork:

          If I remember rightly I bought it because it had a big blue round flower head like the first picture will this be a big one then do you know the main stem is as big as a cigar already.

          That one might be around the 3" to 4" across, Adam.:dunno::coffee::snork:

            Agreed, SS, but I somehow suspect that Adam's £1 packet of Dahlias won't include the Imperialis variety.:heehee:

              Wowsie Armandii,
              I haven't grown Dahlias for a few years now but is it really possible to get them as blue as numbers 1,2,8,9.
              I thought that they were like Fuchsias in that you couldn't get a true blue.
              If they're real I'd love their names please :)

              Depends on what you call a true blue, Anthony:scratch:. So there's Aurwens Violet, Purple Passion but the ones I showed Adam were from package labels and they are notoriously out of colour kilter.:dunno::snork:
