Dahlia 'Tally Ho' is a miscellaneous dahlia, meaning it doesn't fall into any typical horticultural group, such as cactus or collerette dahlias, It's a compact plant growing to just 60cm, and has dark bronze foliage. Its single flowers are bright red with a golden yellow centre.

Grow Dahlia 'Tally Ho' at the front of a sunny border, in moist but well-drained soil. After the first frost, cut off the top growth, dig up the tuber and leave it to dry for three weeks. Overwinter it in an airy, frost-free place, and replant the following spring. Alternatively, grow dahlias in pots and move them indoors in autumn.
