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 ordered Teddy in 2024. it produced one flower and died. They graciously replaced it in 2025. the tuber sent never sprouted so they graciously sent me another replacement. It sprouted. It took FOreVER to grow. it seemed to stall out. then it started growing wonderfully. it got about 2' tall and now it is dying. it is just about done and will be disposed of soon. I do not understand why i cannot get Teddy to survive. I have about 100 dahlias. I have lost three of them this summer, one being Teddy. I guess it's just not meant to be.
I have planted Teddy for years and it always is a good cut flower. for all my Dahlia tubers, At Planting time I usually add a little chicken dry manure I buy in bag. This is so my Dahlias have a good green start. while you don't need a lot of Nitrogen, you do need some. then I switch to a granulated 5-10-10 every 2- 3 weeks. Later early October I go to a 10-21-23 that gives me the best bloom all growing season from May till frost
One of our favorites. The soft orange color was perfect.
Of my 40 varieties this year, this is my second-favorite. I have four of these orange beauties producing long lasting blooms that stand proud of the plant. Really nice.
I accidentally gave every single Teddy tuber away so I just ordered more for the next season. This variety used to be one of the "free gift" varieties here several years ago. Generally I try to buy those anyway because it's an indication of great tuber production and robust plants in general. Teddy is prolific and trouble free
