Dahlia tuber - Pretty in Pink!

Dee from Rangiora

$6 per tuber,
$20 for 4 tubers.

Pretty in Pink!
Brighten up your garden with these stunning display of flowers all summer long. Prolific bloomer which keeps flowering during summer until early autumn. Also great for cut flowers.

Height between 90cm - 110cm

For a best result, plant at least 2 -3 tubers of the same variety together to create a mass of bushy plants.

Plant 5 - 10cm deep, and plenty mulch on top to keep the tubers secure.

Don't water them until sprouts come out. They don't need a lot of water when the sprouts are less than 20cm to prevent tubers from rot. Water them 2 - 3 times a week. Increase the amount of water gradually when the plants start growing bigger.

Deadhead flowers to promote more flowering.

Price: $6

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
