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.

Ice Tea is prolific and it holds its color. This flower lasts a long time on the plant which looks great in the garden. In certain spots in my garden where the hot sun condition can drain flowers of their color, then it is wonderful to find non-fading varieties.
This was an early bloomer for me and puts out a lot of blooms. The color is like the first picture and no dark center. Nice dark stems. Very vigorous. I'm impressed. A real bright spot in my garden.
This is a strong performer for me, growing tall and wide enough to need support. In my PNW garden it's a little more bronze-y than the photos, but I like it a lot. Looks good with many other colors. And it was one of my earlier bloomers.
This bloom was in demand from my florists, as she was so versatile in color, she could be matched with almost anything. Perfect petite blooms, she came early, and continues to pump out additional stems. I found that she's getting a little spindly, so next year, she'll be well supported along with Ray-Ma-Taz and Foxy Lady. I have these grouped in a bed right now, and they are all 3 my go-to for cutting every couple of days. SO RELIABLE!
Would see this growing at the SID farm and it would always catch my eye. Finally added to my collection this past season and I'm in love! Such a gorgeous bloom, and it has such unique coloring that can vary depending on weather, and all stages are GORGEOUS. Lasts forever as a cut flower, absolutely love!
This was the second of my 14 SI tubers to bloom. Sturdy stems, gorgeous soft color, lasts well in an arrangement. Love this one!
Ice Tea is much more orange/yellow than the picture looks on my screen, but it produces loads of lovely little blooms. I've stored/replanted tubers 3 years and it remains reliable. Love it!
My husband bought me some dahlias as a birthday gift and this one came as a free gift. It was my first time planting a mini bloom and I loved it. The blooms are a rust/orange and the plant produces a ton of blooms. It is now a family favorite and fills in bouquets quite nice. Reminds me of my favorite drink in Summer. Fresh, crisp and beautiful.
I may have already mentioned that color is quite important to my satisfaction with a particular flower. This one is perfectly shown in the 1st photo. I didn't see such a dark center and was actually pleased about that. I bought it 2 seasons ago and it did not fair well, however, I was not ready to give up on it, so packed it away in a 3 gallon pot with fresh potting soil, put it in a cool dark place and gave it another go this year. Even though it was not in the best spot for full sun in my garden (it was dappled sunlight for 6-8 hours) it performed well and did result in a good plant for a cutting garden. I recommend saving and replanting all failed tubers, unless they are not viable. They can pay off with patience. Another wonderful SIP.
