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 have had this flower for a few years and the plant starts with tight balls and then opens its center as the bloom matures. Its a nice purple color and has long stems. The plant produces many blooms and grew 3.5-4 foot tall. I don't plant back varieties I don't like, but I have been pleased with this one.
I would LOVE to have the real Jason Matthew, but what I have is not a ball, it's petals are erratic and it has a yellow center, which I don't like at all. It's quite small.
Gorgeous deep purpley violet bloom 3-4” pompon Didn’t bloom until late September in central Virginia. Wish I could post a photo.
Long Island, N.Y. - Unfortunately, this dahlia has not been ball shaped at all for me this season. It's on its fourth bloom and all of them have popped yellow centers, wonky petals, and a completely irregular shape. I think the photo of this dahlia may need to be changed.
The plant is about 3 feet in height.
SID REPLY - Oh no, it sounds like you have a "popped center" Jason Matthew that needs to be replaced. Please reach out to us prior to our cut off date of October 1st of the growing season you purchased it regarding this issue.
Either the photo is wrong, or they sent me the wrong dahlia. Flat petals, yellow centers and small flowers. Disappointing
