Hi not been in here for ages. I live in UK, just read about Tree dahlia imperialis.
I have this wonderful plant for last 5 years and it flowers from July onwards till frost. 100s of blooms. I keep it in a south facing sheltered spot in 24" deep tub and is thriving more every year.
Since this was new to me, ( for fear of loosing it ) I overwintered 1 in cold greenhouse, the other left outdoors, the outdoor plant came back sooner, but both flowered really well from July onwards.
Can't wait for flowers again, the most wonderful plant I have.
