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.

Margaret Ellen arrived looking healthy and well packaged, as always with SID tubers. I waited two years to get her because of stock rebuilding. I ordered one for myself and my niece as that was my Grandmother's name was ME. Sadly for me she was extremely slow to start, grew maybe two feet and never bloomed. My niece had better growth, but no blooms. I live in central Virginia and she in northern Minnesota.
I just dug my tubers and she looks healthy but didn't really multiply. Next year I will start her in a pot and pray for better results. My niece always pots hers up because of their shorter growing season. Extremely disappointed, but have hopes for next year.
