Anyone had any luck growing dahlias in a fairly shady spot? Not deep shade, just a front garden that doesn't get much sun due to position of house opposite.
To give an idea of what works, tulips, hydrangeas, lupins, daffs, hellebores, snowdrops and hollyhocks etc do ok there (albeit not as well as in the back) but last year's sunflowers didn't bloom.
It's my first year of giving dahlias a proper go and I'm not sure how much to stick to full sun areas plus we're running out of space!
Thanks!!
