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.

So sad, the dahlia I received was not a good day dahlia. Sadly it's just a red dahlia... The bad rating is not a reflection of the dahlia it's self but due to it not being the correct dahlia, I thought you all should know
I bought Good Day a few years back as part of the cut-flower collection, and it was the only one in the set that I wasn't excited about. I don't particularly like orange and pink together and I don't gravitate toward the more "messy" looking dahlias. However, I ended really enjoying it and have continued to for the next 3-4 years. My blooms look quite a bit different than the pictures and when I visited Swan Island's farm it appeared to me that some of their Good Day plants look like the pictures posted, with the petals more twisted this way and that, and some looked more like mine, which is more cactus-looking than these pictures (actually they added more pictures and currently the 5th pic looks quite a bit like the shape of my blooms, though mine are more red and a bit more cactus-y). I would describe the prominent color as rust-red, but with pinkish/purplish hues at times. Later in the season it becomes more orange. It has been consistently productive each year, with long, strong stems, great for bouquets. It hasn't had an off-year yet, despite some difficult weather conditions that affected many other dahlias.
In the heat of this summer (or perhaps it is the longer daylight hours) this dahlia is straight red for me--zone 6A in Pennsylvania. Not as pretty as the orange version I get later in the season (very similar to pictures here), but still beautiful. And a very floriferous plant. Lots of tubers, too. Really loved Good Day this year!
I had to come back and revise my review from last year. This is a great dahlia to grow! Those who don't like the informal style of blooms might not appreciate Good Day but it's my favorite. Twirly orange red petals with purple one the reverse...stunning!
This is my second year growing this one and it gave me lots of tubers.
I had great success with Good Day! I'm in Zone 9b and these grew beautifully. Lots of large blooms, tall stems and wasn't susceptible to bugs. I was able to get a solid three months worth of blooms (that's pretty long for me). My flowers looked fairly similar to the photos shown here!
