Dahlias are grown from tubers (similar to a bulb, but thin-skinned like a potato). Plant tubers in the springtime, about the same time as you would your vegetable gardens or when the ground is warm enough to work up and play in daily. Plant them in a full sun location (giving them 6-8 hours of direct sunlight) and enjoy blooms all summer long. They will bloom and provide you with color and abundant flowers for cutting and enjoying throughout the summer.
The more you cut a dahlia plant, the more it will bloom. Most cut dahlias will last up to 5 days once cut and treated.

This plan produces a TON of buds. The stems that I have debudded properly have produced flowers with decent length stems. It has been hard to keep up - I think I may just let this one do it's thing and it just bloom to keep some color in the garden after I have cut the others.
As another reviewer said it’s hard to judge a dahlia from one summer with high temps and drought everywhere. That said I’m perplexed by the reviews. This is my second summer with Garden Time. Like roses I imagine we will start to see regional variation of which dahlias do well where as climate change intensifies.
I’m in New England and GT is tall and makes lots of flowers right up till frost whereas many others are petering out by then or throwing weird if cool blooms. I disbud like a maniac and if you take out the laterals the stems are plenty long and strong. Flowers last well in a case and the tubers are bulletproof (left mine in a bucket forgot to store it with others and it came back like gangbusters. In any case love this for a fall border. The rimmed petal edges are a lovely touch when everything else has gone straight yellow.
I got this tuber as part as the Fall Into Collection. I would like to start this review by saying that this summer has been very hot and I know that a lot of growers are having difficulty this year. I am zone 8b. So keep that in mind regarding this review.
Like the other review states very prolific but 95% of flowers did not open all the way. Flowers stems are too short to be cut flowers. This tuber will be replaced for another variety next year.
Produced lots of really beautiful blooms. But, as a florist, the stems were don't really long enough to do much with.
This dahlia is productive! But I found that many of the blooms didn't open all the way and were a little underwhelming. When I did get a fully open bloom from this plan it was lovely! For every 10 flowers, I might have gotten one good one.
