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.

Mine didn't flower. It grew a few inches - as of October. They said to overwinter anyway and hope for flowers next year. Disappointed.
Mine also didn't produce flowers as of October. Planted in spring.
I LOVE this big, fluffy, happy bloom! The plant was strong, healthy and bloomed prolifically. Beautiful warm colors that blended well with a wide range of other colors in arrangements. I cut so many blooms from this one, I believe every person in our neighborhood had at least one. This beauty has earned a permanent spot in my gardens.
My first purchase from Swan Island was a disaster, but my fault. I was inexperienced and anxious to start, so I didn't bother reading the instructions and rotted out the entire order, so Peanut Brittle never survived. It took another 5 years before I was willing to spend money on another dahlia. Swan Island sends out excellent tubers, so after a success with one dahlia from a big box store, I reordered for better quality tubers and was successful. This year I reordered and Peanut Brittle never sent out a shoot, even though all the other tubers were fine and are doing well. In fairness, I have not notified the company about this yet, but it has been a disappointment.
