Title: Anyone got Dahlia Wittemans Superba?
Post by: MattD on April 27, 2007, 19:02:08
Hi, 
Anyone growing or know where I could get hold of Wittemann's Superba?  It's a largish crimson cactus type which I grew a few years a go and would love to grow again but lost the tubers through carelessness.

I'd recommend Winchester Growers (WGLTD.COM) anytime.

Fantastic selection, good quality plants and Sarah Thomas always provides a helpful service no matter how dumb the question.

However, I still struggle with their latest Web site design.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.  WGLTD looks brilliant (if rather expensive) but I think I've missed the deadline for this year.  I will make a note to get an order in for 2008.

I also went to Ayletts this morning in St Albans but they didn't have it.

Anyway, I've got a good selection to look forward to.
