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.

I live in a dry, windy climate. But a soaker hose and six foot tomato cage made this gorgeous specimen surprise me. I have always avoided the larger bloom varieties because I figured they wouldn't succeed here. This one proved me wrong and I am so impressed and blessed by my first large bloom!
When I had seen this bloom in another garden, it had me completely and could not stop looking at it!
Way more beautiful in person. Huge 8inch blooms on sturdy stems. I placed this in the back and it still draws your eye. It's really outstanding in person. Many blooms and average bloom time.
It is by far the BEST Dahlia I've ever grown. It is very tall (6' easily), sturdy and BEAUTIFUL! The bloom colors change daily and it has great long stems for cutting and becoming the star of arrangements.
I have had good luck saving over the winter too.
After a cool and wet spring, with all Dahlias coming on late in the PNW, this is one of my last Dahlias to bloom in mid October. Easily 6' + happy to have it before the first frost!
