This is due to their open and branching plant habit which doesn’t require staking, and they are “self-cleaning” in that as their flowers fade, their petals drop to the ground rather than wilting and rotting on the stem, so even if you fall behind on picking or deadheading, the plants always look fresh and tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollarette dahlias are loved by pollinators, and their open flower form gives them a more wildflower-like quality that is beautiful for floral arrangements although may have a shorter-than-normal vase life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome gardeners can sow Sunny Reggae seeds indoors in late August to October in New Zealand. Sow seeds 5 mm deep in trays filled with a light, free-draining mix, and keep them at a consistent temperature of 20–25?°C. Germination usually occurs within 7–14 days.
