Dalias

[Marge]

I have recently been given some dalia corms (cactus dalia). Would they do best started off in large terracotta pots or should I plant them straight out in the border?

Not yet Marge! Oop north could still get frosty; I don't think this one is over yet...

Try them in containers in a cool spot until they sprout, then gradually move them to more light. Should be able to go outside fairly soon for you...
