Life Cycle of a Dahlia

White Perfection planted 6 weeks ago.

Its growing, but not as quickly as some of the others. I don't think the weather in the last few weeks has helped.

It's gone from cold to hot to cold to hot to cold and back to hot again. Poor things are probably completely confused. I've noticed that a number of plants are not growing as well as they did last year.

Hopefully we will now get some regular warm weather and they will pick up
