Perfect for exhibiting, Dahlia 'Moor Place' is a fantastic pompom dahlia, with deep maroon-purple blooms. It's suitable for a variety of other situations, including the mixed herbaceous border and cuttings patch.
For best results, grow Dahlia 'Moor Place' in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Stake flowers from June. Deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. Lift tubers after the first frosts and store them in a cool, dry situation until March. Then pot them up and keep them in a temperate greenhouse before planting out in late May.
