I planted some dalias this year for the first time. One lot as flowered. The other lot as no signs of flowers. Why has this happened they r in pots in the Sun well watered I'm confused. Can anyone help please.
Need photos. They don't all flower at exactly the same time either. It has been fiercely hot this year though, so are you sure they're getting enough water and food? Many people let their pots get dried out, and then the water they put in isn't absorbed - it runs straight through. An average pot of around 30 - 35 cm diameter would need a canful of water every day probably, especially if there's a lot of 'plant' in it. Terracotta or plastic pots also dry out quicker. The pots have to be big enough to accommodate the plants too.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
