There has been some discussion on the internet about how big Kenora Clyde grows.? It is obviously a giant dahlia in all ways. Conversely, many of the Giants...
One real advantage I see in fairly tall growing AA & A sized dahlias is for showing. With the lower growing ones you really have to severly disbud & de-branch...
I would prefer that a Giant be at least 4 ft tall for cutting purposes. As there are wind problems here, additional height means additional protection unless...

I still would want to obtain it if possible because it seems to have a magical element about it. Nuts of course. Surely it's worthy of a dwarf mate to try and...
If you are growing under shade cloth, or surrounded by trees, then expect K.Clyde to stretch for the light. In full sun it should not exceed 6 or 7 feet....
See the difference between intelligence, and an the also ran, but of course we're saying the same thing, but Wayne's answer is intellectual. I wish I'd had the...
Wayne, I must say I feel honoured to be able to read your notes! Not only do you have vast experience you willingly share, you also do it in such a nice way....
another Giant or Large that has shorter internodes. It seems that what he is saying is that the genes for the length of the internodes are probably independent...
I'm glad you mentioned this about Formby Kaitlyn. I kept forgetting to ask you how tall it gets. Mine did get to about 4' by the end of the season. The...
Ken- I've tried it with all the short AA & A dahlias we grow-- Clyde always wins out & the seedlings are always up there in the stratosphere! Now, maybe if...
Wayne- out in the Big Garden, Clyde stands 15' in full sun from dawn to dark! I've crossed it both ways with Ivory Palaces- one of the shortest AA's in...
We got Formby Kaitlin this year. What a beautiful color & form! I was wondering though, if anyone has had good luck storing this one. I've heard from quite a...

I haven't had to store it yet, but imagine since I got it from 2 different sources last year -- Hollyhill and Hilltop that they have had luck. I hope someone...

Last year it made an average number of tubers for me. They stored well in plastic wrap. Have not yet dug them this year but? since we grew about? 8 plants...
Got?seedlings with?gorgeous blooms but still 10' tall! Some years ago, my wife crossed Clyde with Clara Huston. The resulting cross grows about 6 feet tall and...
Has anyone on this group grown Parkland Magenta? It was given to me last year but I can't find it listed anywhere. A great cut flower and wonderful for...
Have you tried it with the short one as parent? (versus the tall one) Billy William F. Matthews 65 Witch Hazel Road Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, NL Canada A1M...
That means that the shorter one might be better served by another mate. I was thinking of trying Ivory Palaces as a parent , just as an experiment cf height....
All this working out of potential parents adds to the fascination Billy. Using Kenora Clyde's pollen on a shortie could prove to deliver the goods. These big...
Billy- Ivory Palaces makes a good seed parent. We've had many nice seedlings out of it & they've all been of normal height- around 4.5-5'-- except for the...
AH! But I first have to get a bloom from an extremely tall giant... IN NEWFOUNDLAND! where wind is the main enemy of everything that grows. I have several...
Thought Hollyhill Quintessence did well?considering it was only judged 21 times as against those higher up the list which were judged 25 times. All I can...
