Dahlias grow best with good drainage and partial to full sun; a container is also suitable. The yellow flowers bring a bright accent to a border and can be cut for arrangements.

Support may be useful where stems are exposed or the site is windy. Remove faded flower heads as they finish to maintain a tidy display. ## Maintenance In climates with hard freezes, lift the tubers after frost and store them in a cool, dry, frost-free place for replanting in spring. In mild areas, follow local winter-growing guidance. [J. Parker’s growing notes](https://www.jparkers.co.uk/dahlia-golden-torch/)
