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.

I’m in zone 9A so growing Dahlias is a little questionable with our hot summers. Our last frost date is very early compared to most dahlia growers so I placed tubers in the ground in February. It’s the end of April and my Summer’s End has already been blooming for a few weeks with so many buds coming in! The flower is absolutely gorgeous and they last well in vases. I can’t wait for the rest to start blooming (several others are budding now) as these are quickly becoming my favorite flower.
Summer’s End has been one of my favorite dahlias this year. I had it in a container this year, and it grew nice and strong and put out a lot of beautiful flowers. The colors are very soft and beautiful.
Summer's End was the first to bloom in my garden this year. Tall sturdy plant with a multitude of gorgeous yellow and peach blooms on long stems great for cutting. That said... It didn't bloom the first year and the plant stayed very small, so I started it indoors this season. It was about a foot tall going into the garden and took off very quickly. I love, love this dahlia!
Photos make it look like a peachy-pink/yellow, but mine is orange/yellow, and because of the variegation of the petals, to me it sort of looks like a yellow dahlia that's starting to go brown. Petals are skinnier than the photos appear, and the blooms are fairly small, so it just lacks the oomph of many other dahlia varieties. That said, it bloomed early (August in Zone 7), is growing well, and producing flowers atop long stems that are perfect for cutting.
After producing a single blossom in October 2021, it slept in the ground under heavy mulch, emerged again in May 2022, and began blooming at the end of July. Such a lovely water lily form and soft colors, it was worth the wait!
