How to Grow

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 is one of my top 5 dahlias out of 50. I LOVE it! Such beautiful flowers and prolific. Tall healthy plant, strong stems, good for cutting. Such gorgeous flowers I keep taking their pictures

Ok

I purchased two. They equally did fair to poor. Thank you.

A gorgeous workhorse bloomer

This dahlia is such a vigorous grower and bloomer. The plant is more than 6 feet tall and produces gorgeous blooms in abundance. The bloom color is so rich and unique. The plant has survived three light frosts and is still blooming here in zone 6. It’s the end of October and I can’t bring myself to cut down the plant to prepare the tubers for winter storage.

Maybe I’m to blame?

Lovely tall plant with no sign of any blooms this first year. I suspect I didn’t fertilize early enough, because this wasn’t my only failure—and even my successes were hardly prolific.

Gorgeous!

Really striking flowers. They aren't kidding about the height; this is a TALL flower. In my raised bed it was taller than I am. Much more prone to earwigs than my other dahlias for some reason. A very crisp yellow and orange; definitely clashes with pink/purple tones but works well with any red/orange. I loved these and will look forward to seeing them next year.

Really pretty!

Very pretty buttery yellow with pink tips--got really tall and would have little bunches of 2-3 flowers on each stem, individual stems were rather short but I floated them on the tops of small cups and they were gorgeous!

Stunning but short bloom

This is a STUNNING flower, but blooms very late. By the time it blooms I only get a very small number of flowers before 1st frost. But each one is a masterpiece.
