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.

Big beautiful head just saturated with the prettiest purple on a LONG STRONG stem!
My Thomas Edison had been failing, so I backed him up with Einstein. Now both have LIT UP this year!
This has been one of my favorites. The bloom is large and full, color is a beautiful purple. The stems strain to hold the bloom up. This one looks great in any arrangement. I have gotten tons of compliments on her
Has a large flower and gorgeous color. Only draw back stem was too weak for flower head. Hope to try selective pruning next year.
If you like purple, you will probably enjoy Einstein. The color is truly a brilliant purple and is nicely formed. This variety is listed as "late" but, at least in my Indiana garden, bloomed at about 100 days. Bloomed steadily until frost -- definitely not a one-and-done. Made a nice set of tubers that I am storing to regrow next season.
