Miss Brandy is a gorgeous, slightly moody blend of bronze, copper, rust and dusky salmon-pink. Its loosely curled petals give each bloom a relaxed, slightly different appearance, while the colouring softens and changes as the flowers mature. Compact but very free-flowering, it is a great choice for pots, borders and picking.

- Dahlias will grow in almost any soil, but prefer well drained loamy soil conditions.
- Prepare the ground a few weeks before planting by digging over the soil thoroughly and adding a little well rotted compost and an application of general fertiliser.
- Before planting the tubers, apply stakes (for larger varieties) staking after planting damages roots and tubers.
- Plant your Dahlia tubers about 5-10cm deep and about 50cm apart with the eye facing upwards. Water well and keep moist being careful not to over-water.
