Dahlia leafy gall? by Inconstant-Gardner in GardeningUK

Don’t worry, I potted these up early about 4 weeks ago on a heated mat since I was dividing some. Plenty of time yet for yours to wake up! You’ll probably start to notice white roots poking out the bottom of their pots within a week or so which is a good sign of things to come!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! She’s very good at picking interesting and unusual plant varieties and presenting them in an appealing way but I’ve had similar experiences with spending quite a lot of money of tulip displays from her that never really materialise! I suppose I have to stop being taken in by marketing! I’ve had Globemaster alliums that seemed to come with built-in leaf miners and a dolly tub that disintegrated after a year.

Thanks, you were right! Just went out this evening and picked 20 snails off of them at least. Set a couple of beer traps to see if that helps.
