Charing House Favourites for 2011

February 7th, 2011

The following varieties are the top recommendations from our collection for the 2011 season. They are listed in order of their success in the unusual growing season of 2010, when June saw temperatures in the 30′s for several days which appeared to shock or stunt some varieties. Cut flower popularity (long strong stems, sought-after colour, and bloom longevity), plant vigor, abundance of bloom, and tuber production and stability have all been considered. Please keep in mind that all our dahlias are grown in Ottawa Valley heavy clay soil with little amendment, and differing soils will impact results. More varieties may be added as the tubers are prepared for sale over the next few months.
