| Forgive me, but it sure looks like you've placed them too close together if they're dinner-plates. Any way you can give them some more room? Cheers, |

| They look great and healthy. Might want to give them more room, but I know I've crammed plants close together and suffered no ill that I could see. For me, some plants just grow like gangbusters into broad, bushy specimens. Some are leaner. You might get away with that spacing, time will tell. Are those woodchips mulching the surrounding area? I raked up most of mine after having more visits by petal-eating earwigs last year having made paths of woodchips through the garden. Have read from one grower that he/she has no or little 'debris' for the earwigs to hide in at the base of their dahlias. Just one thought, but a thought I took to heart. |
