If you love Bees get some pompom Dahlia in. Or any Dahlia for that matter. They cannot get enough of them!

Lovely colour! What do you do with dahlias when they are finished flowering? Or do you just buy them fresh every year?

Keep dead heading them and they will continue flowering until the first frosts. BUT, I have only recently found out that if you get them before the last frosts and pull up the tubers, they can be replanted the following year! I didn't actually realise this until I went out and bought more seeds this year. But I will be saving my tubers in future if the plants are successful!
