At this time of the year????

Are you looking for plants to grow on or are you looking for cut flowers?

Can't do seeds. Don't have enough space. I wanted plants or tubers or something.

Dahlias grow from Tubers (like potatoes)
Chrysanths usually are grown from cutting. Growing from seeds takes at least two or three seasons and is very difficult.

Fashion tends to dictate what is available each year. One of the best sources of the "Old Fashioned" colours is Woolworths. They, in their larger stores, usually have a selection of tubers for Dahlias. Failing that try your local Garden Centre.
