Hi I planted some bulbs a while back and have forgotten what I put in. Can anyone help ID these please?

It's a dahlia! Not sure of the cultivar though, sorry.

Thanks! I suggested dahlia to my OH last night but he thought they were to tall

I love that you thought that might be a weed! It's beautiful!!

I think it’s a dahlia too. It’s lovely. I’ve never seen anything similar so no matter how tall I think it’s a dahlia!

I had candytuft that grew to one metre high, who knows why! It was still candytuft.

Dahlia are tall! so funny you thought it was a weed!

Thanks everyone 😊. @BewareTheBeardedDragon I thought it was a weed initially but as I’d popped a few bulbs in my planter ages ago I let it grow to see what it was - glad I didn’t pull it out now!

There are loads of different types of dahlia, short and tall.
