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.

Lavender Ruffles is one of my top five favorite dahlias of over the twenty five varieties I have. It looks amazing in the ground on the plant as it is almost electric in color. The plant is very tall so place in where it won’t shroud your other plants. The blooms are truly dinner plate in size and last about 3-4 days in a vase without floral preservative a couple days more with. Keep cutting the blooms off to get more!!
This late bloomer is gorgeous, and prolific once it starts putting out blooms. The huge, informal blooms are long lived and beautiful on the plant. They righten bouquets for a day or two before fading. I just pull them out when they start to go. A garden gem. Definitely requires caging. Very sturdy stalks, but thick foliage makes it vulnerable to strong winds.
Bloomed very late as we (Central New England) had a long drought this summer with intense heat. Thanks to an exceptionally mild fall, this has produced many giant, intensely colored blooms into the first week of November. The plant was taller and more colorful than expected, and very prolific. An All-Star this year.
Really pretty, but out of the 10+ dahlia plants I planted, this bloomed the least. Only gave me a few blooms.
Order another couple this year for impact. This lighter shade of purple/lavender shows up well in garden by the roadside. I got the most comments from neighbors by having this in the front of the garden. It is a compact, lush foliage 3 foot high plant, but once the blooms start, it is a mass of color. Long lasting blooms.
