Hi Ken I’m in Washington and have had success with my tree dahlias but not blooming I picked up plants from Tony when I lived in MD and have been able to keep them alive for several years, the last two years have been in NC’s heat. But not any flowers yet. I remember seeing them easily 3 meters when I was at university in Melbourne when they do get 35 C heat. I think they are very fascinating and look forward to a second story window with flowers blooming in early Nov. all the best Will Aley Washington, NC > On Mar 12, 2019, at 3:10 PM, Ken Traynham <ktraynham@gmail.com> wrote: > > Wow.
